(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Children (Performances) Regulations 1968 in relation to children aged nine or over to increase the maximum length of time to four hours in which a child may take part in a continuous performance or rehearsal without a break. They also extend the permitted hours in the working day and the total number of hours in which these children may be present at the place of performance or rehearsal.
The Regulations also extend, to all performances or activities, existing modifications to the education provisions. For each period of four weeks, or if less than four weeks, for that period, education requirements will be met if the child receives education for at least 6 hours each week, with the remainder of the required hours education taking place on days other than days on which the child would not normally be required to attend school, subject to a maximum of five hours education taking place on any day.
