Talent
If your child is of school age and below, they will require a licence to work. This is per job they partake in. You as a parent will not need to apply for the licence. Us as your child’s agent or the clients will be responsible for the licence. When we take your child on, we will request a selection of information and documentation that is required to apply for a licence.
If your child is 16+ and completed their G.C.S.E’s they will not require a licence and are permitted to work.
