Most employers don't hire workers below 16 years of age. Some jobs are OK for people below that age to work though, for example paper rounds. If a child is in full time education they have to get a work permit authorised by their school to say that the employment will not interfere with their education.
I think that there are different rules to do with jobs like; acting, modeling etc as obviously children of any age engage in these forms of employment.
The source below gives exact details...
