Chaperone

A chaperone acts in loco parentis (in place of a parent/carer) to the child/ren under their care when they are modelling, performing on stage, taking part in a film production, radio or television programme. A chaperone is expected to exercise the same care and control as a good parent would with a view to securing a child's health, comfort, kind treatment and moral view.

A chaperone must be registered with the LA, and undergo a compulsory Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check, which will incur a charge. Please email or contact us directly for further information.  An application form is available on this page.
