Child entertainment and employment licensing

Child performers are protected by a series of legislation, in particular The Children (Performances and Activities) Regulations 2014, which came into force on the 6th February 2015.

The following types of performance will require a child to have either a license or an exemption:

  • Theatre
  • Modelling (photographic & catwalk)
  • TV/Film
  • Dance school shows
  • Band/orchestra performances (non-educational establishment)
