This document contains a flowchart explaining when a child performance licence is needed in Scotland. A licence may be required for performances involving admission charges, licensed premises, broadcasts, recordings for later broadcast, or paid modelling and sporting activities. Exemptions include auditions, school productions, approved groups, and some unpaid performances that do not affect school attendance or exceed three performance days in six months. Performances without a licence may still have to follow conditions under the 2014 regulations.
