Medical certificates

 
The health and safety of a child is paramount. To make sure of this, we may require medical certificates to issue a stage licence. See below for details.

Any costs involved in getting a medical certificate should be met by the production company employing the child.

TV and film

If a child is going to perform on TV or film, you must include a medical certificate when applying for a licence.

Broadcast performances

For broadcast performances, such as radio productions, a child can perform for 6 days in a six month period without the need for a medical.

Theatre work

For other performances such as theatre work, if the child takes part on the maximum number of days in the week allowed, i.e. 6 days, and the performances are required for more than one week, we need to see a medical certificate.

Sport and modelling

For sporting activities and modelling, please include a statement from the child's parent saying the child is medically fit for the proposed activity with the original licence application.

Also, check the stage licence decision table. It includes information on when you need a certificate.
