Chaperoning of Children in Entertainment
The duties and responsibilities of a chaperone
A chaperones' first priority is always to the child
A chaperone is the key person who the child looks to for guidance, protection, clarification and support
A chaperone's duty is to look after the child therefore they cannot be involved in other activities such as dresser, make-up or actor
A chaperone must be strong enough to negotiate on behalf of the child....For example, if a producer wants a child to remain at the place of performance beyond the permitted hours or to perform outside of that stated on the licence, the chaperone must be confident enough to say no
A chaperone must have a working knowledge of the performance regulations to carry out their duties confidently and effectively
Production companies are required by law to keep certain records relating to the performance. ...You should ask the producer for a copy of the child's licence and familiarise yourself with the terms of the licence.
