As you will already know, under the Licensing Act 2003, licensees have a legal reponsibility to make sure that children remain safe at their premises and it is important that adequate safety measures are in place for the protection of children. Most licensees will, by now, have done a risk assessment to identify what the potential risks could be to children's safety while on their premises.

One of the risks often identified is thst sometimes, when adults / parents bring children on to the premises, they fail to supervise them adequately - this can put children at risk of accidental, physical and other types of harm and it can also cause problems for the licensee.

To support licensees to make sure that children are adequately supervised on licensed premises, we have produced a 'Children's Charter', which aims to get the message across to adults / children that they must co-operate with licensees to keep children safe.

As part of a publicity campaign to remind adults of their responsibilities to supervise children on licensed premises and to promote some 'keep safe house rules' two posters have been produced and will shortly be circulated to licensed premises. You can download copies of the posters from this site.
