Children in entertainment: A guide for parents
Apply for a licence
If your child is involved in any show, the producer should contact us for an application form.
If your child is registered with an agent, you need to check that the agent or production company is applying for the licence.
The licence must be issued by the Council.
The producer must fill in the first part of the form and you must complete the second part.
Once completed, email the form to us at SYP@southtyneside.gov.uk.
You must also include:
- two photos
- a copy of your child's birth certificate
- Production Company's Safeguarding Policy and Risk Assessment
Where appropriate we will need written confirmation from your child's school that they have no objection to them being absent to take part in the performance.
We will send you a copy of the licence once it has been issued.
