When is a licence not required?

  • When there is no payment made to the child and they have not taken part in performances in the previous six months on more than four days
  • When no payment is made to the child and the performance is arranged by school
  • When no payment is made to the child and the performance is exempted by the Secretary of State (e.g. Scout Gang Shows).

Although you may not need a licence, there are circumstances where you will still have to fill in a Child performance exemption licence form.
