Apply for a professional or volunteer Chaperone licence
All children requiring a performance licence must be chaperoned by either the child’s parent, legal guardian or a local authority registered chaperone.
Type of chaperone licence needed
If you are working in a professional capacity as a chaperone or are being paid to be a chaperone, you will need to apply for a professional licence. If you are doing the role unpaid, you can apply for a volunteer licence.
Processing chaperone licences can take up to 3 months. You must be a resident of West Northamptonshire to apply for a licence, if you live in another area please check with your local council.

Both volunteer and professional chaperone licences include an enhanced child workforce Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. You will be required to attend a short ID check meeting in Northampton.
