Performing with children: how can the BBE BOPA help me?

If you are an event organiser, did you know you are legally required to cover all young people taking part with a child performance licence (CPL)?

A CPL is required for all young people taking part in leisure activities and thus affects all brass bands working with under 16s. A Body of Persons Approval (BOPA) can simplify this process.

This session covers both CPLs and BOPAs - what they are, how to use them, and how to apply.

Contests and festivals - what do I need to know?

Every event you organise will be unique and, in the world of brass bands, performances may often take the form of a contest or a festival, rather than a simple concert. You may be working with multiple bands, not just your own, and other partner organisations, youth-specific or otherwise.

During this webinar we will look at what licensing is required for each type of event and how to adapt and implement safeguarding policies appropriately.

Host and format

This webinar will be delivered by BBE’s Membership Development Manager, Alex Parker. The session will include a Q&A for questions. A recording of the presentation will be made available in the BBE Member Resources library following the event.
