Child Work Permits and Performance Licences

Children working and performing in Newham

We welcome all opportunities for our children to develop their skills and broaden their horizons by taking part in activities outside of school and we encourage families to support their children to develop their minds and thrive in new surroundings.

To safeguard children the law sets out the arrangements that must be in place by local authorities to when they are working or taking part in certain performances, paid sport and modelling.

Families must ensure they carefully balance their child’s education alongside developing their life experiences by working or performing.
