  (4)              (1)              Sub-paragraph (2) applies where the permitted price given by Paragraph (b) of paragraph 2 on a day (“the first day”) would be different from the permitted price on the next day (“the second day”) as a result of a change to the rate of duty or value added tax.

  (2)              The permitted price which would apply on the first day applies to sales or supplies of alcohol which take place before the expiry of the period of 14 days beginning on the second day.

  7.              Any person used to carry out a security activity as required under any condition of this licence/certificate must be licensed or authorised to do so by the Security Industry Authority.

• ANNEXE 2 - CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERATING SCHEDULE

   

  To promote the four licensing objectives, we will implement robust operational procedures, maintain excellent communication with local authorities, and ensure our staff are fully trained and vigilant.

   

  We will have security on site at all times and we will up security numbers of an evening when alcohol consumption is heightened.

   

  A zero-tolerance policy on illegal drug use and anti-social behaviour will be strictly enforced.

   

  SIA-licensed security staff will be employed during events, with appropriate ratios based on event size and risk assessments.

   

  An incident log will be maintained and made available to authorities upon request.

   

  Staff will receive regular training in conflict management and recognising signs of disorder.

   

  We will operate Challenge 25 on our bars.

  A full risk assessment had been carried out, including fire safety, crowd control, and emergency evacuation procedures.

   

  All staff will be trained in emergency procedures and have ACT training.

   

  Alcohol will be served responsibly, with staff trained under a recognised scheme such as Challenge 25.

  Noise levels will be controlled through a sound management plan, including regular monitoring during events.

   

  All speakers will be facing out to sea.

   

  Vehicle movements will take place early morning when the beach is less populated.

   

  Guests will be encouraged to leave the venue quietly with staff positioned at exits during dispersal.

   

  Engagement with local residents will be ongoing, with a named contact available to address concerns.

  We will have a dedicated DBS on site and our lost child policy is as follows - We have implicated this for our event here for 4 years and it has worked well, its something signed off by SAG every year for this event.

   

  A facility to accommodate lost children or vulnerable adults will be located at the Event Management Area.

   

  Trained (DBS approved) personnel and separate locations have also been assigned to deal with lost children and these will be clearly marked.

   

  Event stewards and staff will be fully briefed on what to do if they are dealing with a lost child or vulnerable person, and a steward finding a lost child should immediately contact Event Control.

   

  If the child or person is uninjured the steward should stay at the found location for a few minutes. The parents maybe close by or may return once they notice the child is missing. Dedicated members of the event team (DBS Approved Staff) responsible for lost children will then make their way to the steward’s location and will arrange for the welfare of the child.

   

  Announcements will not be made with regard to the child in our care without consultation with the Event Manager.

   

  It is imperative that any member of the Event team releasing a child or vulnerable person into the care of a third party is absolutely certain the parent or guardian is who they say they are and that a proof of identity beyond reasonable doubt has been seen.

   

  Under no circumstances should a reluctant child be released to an unknown adult. If in doubt call Event Management.

   

  Within the event site the following provisions relating to children must be observed.

                       Children under the age of 8 are not to be left unattended.

                       It is inadvisable for children under the age of 8 to leave the event unless accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.

                       A child within the care of the event team must not be left under the supervision of a single person.

   

  The reporting of a lost child by an Adult or Parent is considered a critical incident and should place everyone involved within the event in a state of alert.

   

  The first person contacted by a parent or guardian ‘stating a child or person is lost’ should immediately inform the event management team so that the safeguarding procedure can be acted upon.

   

  The parent or guardian should then be taken immediately to the lost children area, where a full description of the lost person can be given and distributed to security staff and stewards, the parent’s details and any contact details must be noted down.

   

  The Event Management Team will on being informed a child or person has been lost, will initiate a lock down procedure, while ensuring the security teams have been briefed and informed with a full description. To ensure the missing person cannot leave unnoticed. The early use of the 101 service must be considered if there is any suspicion of foul play.

  If an immediate search for the child does not resolve the issue within a reasonable amount of time e.g., within 15 minutes, the Senior Steward and/ or Security Officer must then ensure a full lock-down is initiated and the site egress points will be closed, and the gate stewards will be notified and given a full description of the child. It will be at this point that the Event Management Team will decide if the Police or 999 call needs to be made, depending on

  the age and duration of the child being lost.
