Under the legislation of the Licensing Act 2003, children will normally  have access to licensed premises, unless there is a clear need for them to be excluded.  One of the key objectives of the Licensing Act 2003 is "the protection of children from harm" and the NCSCB is committed to working in partnership with other local authority partners, organisations and businesses to ensure that the people of Nottingham continue to enjoy a thriving leisure and entertainment industry within a safe and responsible environment.

The SCB is a Responsible Authority under the Licensing Act 2003.

We welcome the opportunity to give advice about safeguarding children.  With this in mind, the NCSCB has produced a guidance for good practice to assist licencees with their safeguarding responsibilities.
