Chaperone licences
Chaperones are people licensed to accompany and look after children who take part in a performance. School age children, up to and including year 11, must be accompanied by a licensed chaperone if their parent cannot go with them.
Parents are able to supervise their own child. They cannot look after other children unless they are licensed. Relatives and childminders would also need a chaperone licence. This is because they are not legal guardians unless they have been appointed by a court.
To apply to be a chaperone you must hold a current Hull City Council Enhanced Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) and be registered to the DBS Update Service. Guidance will be given on this on receipt of your application.
Once an application is received, we need 2 references. You will be invited to an informal discussion with a member of the Education Welfare Service.
