Children in entertainment: A guide for parents

Supervision for children

All children and young people must be looked after either by their own parent or by a Council approved chaperone whilst they are taking part in a performance. You cannot look after another child other than your own (even with parental permission) unless you are an approved chaperone.

You can apply online to become a chaperone.

We would urge you to check who is looking after your child and whether they have a valid chaperone approval.
