Licences are granted where we are satisfied about the child's fitness and about provisions made for their health, kind treatment and education.

Chaperones

Any person who holds a Performance & Activities Licence is responsible for ensuring that  Children are supervised at all times and under the charge of a chaperone approved by this Local Authority (except when in the charge of a parent/guardian or tutor).
