📋 Internship Details

? Total length of the internship. Common durations: 3 months (summer), 6 months, 12 months (placement year). Duration affects learning depth and project involvement.

🎓 Internship Type & Status

? UK law: If intern is a "worker" (regular hours, contributes to business operations), they must receive at least National Minimum Wage. True unpaid internships are rare and limited to work shadowing or very short placements with no real work contribution.
? Is this internship part of an educational course? University placements, sandwich years, or work experience modules often have specific requirements and assessment criteria.
⚖️ Legal Status: Most interns working regular hours and contributing to business operations are legally "workers" and must receive at least National Minimum Wage (£12.21/hour for 21+, 2025 rates). Genuinely unpaid internships are limited to short work shadowing with no obligation to do real work.

💷 Payment & Working Hours

UK National Minimum Wage (2025): £12.21/hour (21+), £10.00/hour (18-20), £7.55/hour (under 18)

🎯 Learning Objectives & Responsibilities

? Specific skills and knowledge the intern will gain. Should align with their studies/career goals. Good internships focus on learning and development, not just routine tasks.
Balance learning opportunities with practical contribution

👥 Supervision & Support

? Regular feedback is essential for intern development. Weekly check-ins for ongoing support, plus formal monthly reviews to assess progress against learning objectives.

📍 Work Location

🏖️ Holiday & Absence

? If the intern is a "worker" (most paid interns), they have statutory right to 5.6 weeks paid holiday pro-rata. For 3 months: ~7 days. For 6 months: ~14 days. For 12 months: 28 days.
Pro-rata calculation based on internship length
? Intern must notify supervisor as soon as possible on first day of absence. Paid interns may be entitled to Statutory Sick Pay if they meet eligibility criteria (£118.75/week, 2025).

💳 Expenses & Reimbursement

? Even unpaid interns should have reasonable expenses covered (travel, meals if required to work through lunch). This ensures no financial barrier to the opportunity.

🔒 Confidentiality & Data Protection

? Standard protects general business information. High level if intern will access sensitive data, trade secrets, or confidential client information. Most internships require standard confidentiality.
📋 Data Protection: Intern must comply with UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. They should receive data protection training and only access data necessary for their role.

💡 Intellectual Property

⚖️ Standard Practice: Work created during internship typically belongs to the organisation. This is reasonable as the intern is being paid/supported and using company resources. Should be clearly stated upfront.

📄 Termination

? Notice required by either party to end the internship early. Shorter periods are common for internships (1-2 weeks). Should be reciprocal unless there's a clear business reason for different periods.
