Child stage performance licences

We issue licences for school-age children who perform or take part in paid activities.

We do this to help protect them from exploitation and safeguard their welfare.

If your child is involved with a dancing school, local show, paid modelling or sporting activity you should apply for a licence.

The licences are required from birth until a child reaches official school-leaving age.

To apply download and fill in our Child performance licence application form.

However, if your child is involved in the Scouts annual Gang Show or a school events you will not need a licence.

Your application should be sent in at least three weeks before the date required so you receive it in time.

For further information or to request an application form contact our Senior Education Welfare Officer on 01275 884 122.
