Access and inclusion in education

If you know of a child or children living in Cumberland who you believe may be missing from education, you should report it to us.

When a child can legally work, what type of employment they can do and how to apply for a work permit.

Every child who is taking part in a performance or activity, which falls under Section 37 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1963 must have a licence or an exemption issued.

During a performance a child must be supervised at all times by a chaperone approved by us, unless they are under the direct supervision of their parent or legal guardian.

A BOPA allows groups and organisations to have an umbrella licence for their performances. This means licences for each individual child are not needed as the BOPA covers the organisation.
