Gambling licensing policy

The Gambling Commission advises in its Guidance to Licensing Authorities that if a licensing authority is concerned that particular premises may attract disorder or be subject to attempted unauthorised access (for example by children) it may require that the entrances to the premises are controlled by a door supervisor. In these circumstances the licensing authority is entitled to impose a condition on the premises licence to this effect.

A record shall be kept at the premises, which contains the following information:

• The full name and address of the door supervisor deployed
• The time they commenced and finished duty
• All incidents that the door supervisors dealt with

The term door supervisor means a person licensed by the Security Industry Authority.
