Quick info for production companies & hirers

  • All children under 16 must be licensed by the Local Authority for any performance work or media project.

    • films, plays, concerts or other public performances that the audience pays to see, or that take place on licensed premises.

    • any sporting events or modelling assignments where the child is paid

    It can take councils up to 21 days to issue a license but the average is around 10 days.

    The person in charge of the event must apply to the child’s local council for a child performance licence. If you are unfamiliar with this process please contact us for advice.

    We are happy to apply for licenses on behalf of production companies at a cost of £35 per child license.

  • Children will require a chaperone on your job. Please contact us for pricing.

    We work with a team of registered chaperones that can accompany our artists to jobs. They professionally manage the balance between children’s well being & need’s and your expectations during your busy production schedule.

    Get in touch now to book.

  • long-running productions which require the child to take a number of days out of school should also provide a tutor, so that the child does not fall behind on any school work. It's recommended that children and young people have their own green room separate from the adult green room, cast trailers and crew areas.

    For your convenience we have a team of freelance tutors available, please enquire now.

  • We work with a select few of exceptional Drama coaches who have extensive experience working with children. If you would like to enquire about this service, all of our staff have enhance DBS checks.
