The Children (Performances) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 1998
These Regulations amend the Children (Performances) Regulations 1968 (S.I. 1968/1728) (“the 1968 Regulations”). Their purpose is to extend the licensing requirements contained in the 1968 Regulations as now required by the Children and Young Persons Acts 1933 and 1963. Those Acts were amended by the Children (Protection at Work) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/276) in order to implement, in relation to children, the provisions of the 1994 EC Directive on the Protection of Young People at Work. The regulations revoke regulations dating back to 1933 which govern the form of licence required to authorise a child to perform abroad and insert the requisite provision and licence form into the 1968 Regulations.
