Adult to child supervision ratios

The Children (Performances) Regulations 1968 set out requirements for chaperones, but only apply to actual performances and do not legally apply to rehearsals or groups/societies regular meetings. However, as a matter of good practice, South Brent Amateur Dramatic Society (SBADS) follows those regulations throughout its rehearsals.

The regulations require a minimum of 1 chaperone to 12 children. Where possible, SBADS aims to provide 2 chaperones to 12 children. We will also take into account the genders of the children and chaperones.
