A child may need a licence if they're under school leaving age and taking part in:
- plays, concerts, filming or other public performances that the audience pay to see, or that take place on licensed premises
- any sporting events or modelling assignments where the child is paid
A licence isn't needed if a performance is arranged by, and taking place at, a school.
The person in charge of the event should apply for a licence at least 21 days before the event. Email educationwelfare@plymouth.gov.uk or call 01752 307405.
If the child won't be with their parent or guardian, a school teacher or a home tutor, they must be supervised by a licenced chaperone.
