Child chaperone licence

You need a licence to chaperone children who work in entertainment and performance.

How to apply

To become a chaperone you need to:

• apply online

• have an interview and safeguarding training

• have a DBS check, which we will carry out

• give us two references

• have a children’s social care check.

Interview and training

After you apply, we will invite you to an interview and to do an online child protection training course. There is a fee for the course.

After you apply

After we have done your background checks, we will issue you with a chaperone licence.

You should carry your licence while you are chaperoning, unless you are chaperoning your own children.
