Child Labour = work is …

– Mentally, physically, socially and/or morally dangerous
– Harmful for children
– Interferes with their schooling
– Not “light work”

…As a BSCI Participant
What can I do If Children are found to be working in my
supply chain?
![Page 18: BSCI 2.0: No Child Labour and Special Protection for Young ... · Learning Objectives • What does Child Labour mean? • What does special protection to young workers mean? •](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040320/5e48dfa4f99e024eb679b0ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Use your practical wisdom…
• Is it an incidental case or a systematic problem?
• What are the alternatives for the children to be removed?
• Am I able to compensate financially and closely follow up?
• Do I have access to local institutions that can support my
supplier?
• What are other BSCI participants doing? How can I use our
leverage?
