Ben,

 
As a former employment law solicitor, Chuka is well aware of the legal context in this area.
However, for the avoidance of doubt, I can confirm that our office does not use interns in the
same way that we do full staff members and interns are under no obligation to work. Our
office uses the guidelines established by Internocracy.
 
If I may refer to the wording of our office’s advertisement on W4MP website: “as this is a
voluntary position these requirements are flexible and those with restricted availability are
also welcome to apply.”
 
I hope this provides clarification.
 
Regards, Gabriel
