Working with Children and Families who live, work or perform at regulated premises

If you work with children and families who live, perform or work at licensed premises such as pubs, shops, takeaways, or events such as music or sports, it is important to be aware of the potential risks that may be present and to ensure that the environment where they are, is safe and compliant.
