Instructions to student

You should ensure that the arrangements you suggest are arrangements that are applicable to a real lit working environment, as well as specifically relevant to the operations of King Edward VII College. For example, flexible working arrangements may vary depending on the staff member. For example, the trainee may not be able to utilize flexible working arrangements at all times when classes are scheduled. You should consider if and how you will be able to offer such arrangements in this case.
