Wiltshire County Council's Education department has a duty to regulate, supervise and enforce legislation with respect to all aspects of the employment of children within the county. To enable children to work safely and legally, national laws and Wiltshire County Council's byelaws regulate the type of work children can do and the hours they can work.

A child assisting in any trade or occupation carried on for a profit or gain is deemed to be employed even if they receive no payment for their labour. It is important that any child who is employed does so strictly according to the law.
