It is important that we make sure that our children are protected and that any work they do is within the law.
We know that many children have specific talents and are keen to work in the entertainment industry. You can check the requirements and licences needed to support this by looking at our child performance licence information.
As children get older, some of them are keen to work as soon as they can to get some extra money and to get useful experience. It is important to remember that children under the age of 13 are not permitted to work and any job a child has must be within child employment laws. Look at our child employment permit page for more information.
