  • Apply for a Child Performance Licence 

    You must get a performance licence if there are children taking part in a performance you are producing or organising (as long as they are not exempt). We issue licences to protect a child’s education, health, safety and welfare.

  • Apply to be a licensed chaperone 

    Chaperones look after children who take part in performances or activities such as dancing, theatre, film, television, modelling or sport.

  • Child employment rights 

    Find out when children of school age can legally work and the type of work they can do. Children can only work if they have a valid work permit. Employers are responsible for applying for a child’s work permit.
