Chaperone Licences

Children who take part in public performances or entertainment under a local authority licence must be supervised by an approved chaperone - unless they are in the care of their parent or an approved tutor.

Chaperones can only be approved and licensed by the local authority in which they live.

Applying for a chaperone licence

To apply for a licence you will need to:

• Complete and submit a Chaperone Licence application form. You will be asked to provide details of two referees to support your application.
• Apply for a DBS check through Trafford Council (administration fee applies). Use your application reference number to link your check to your application. If you already hold a DBS which has been issued in the last three months please have your reference number ready to enter on your application.

Timescales for applying

You should apply at least 8-12 weeks before you need the licence.
