Hello @Pegbujie,
That’s great to hear you are both looking at work experience opportunities!
It can be hard to get in-person experience directly related to psychology, but anything that involves interacting with people can be applied to psychology. This could be especially valuable if your 15 year old has already learnt some psychological theories which can be applied to the work experience.
One idea for you is to contact some local primary schools to ask whether work experience will be possible here if that is something they would be interested in.
If this doesn’t work out, there are lots of online psychology courses like the ones LJMU mentioned above!
Hope this helped and let me know if you have any more questions
