LICENSING TRAINING FOR NEW MEMBERS

The session will be run by Fiona McMillan ( Assistant Solicitor) and Myles Bebbington (Licensing officer). The object will be to give a relatively simple introduction to various aspects of Licensing and legal procedures, the issues most likely to be covered will be:-

1. The scope of Licensing, ie what do we licence!
2. Role of the committee
3. Where does the committee fit into the various licensing procedures
4. What type of reports/appeals can a committee be expected to receive
5. What key procedures must be followed to prevent problems such as judicial reviews
6. What can the committee expect from its officers
7. The Licensing Act 2003
8. An introduction to the more formal training arranged in August and its importance.

Leaflets on the main licensing areas are attached for Members information and whilst it is intended to be a very informal session, Members will be encouraged to ask questions.
