In reality, children who perform, regardless of their school setting, will require consent amendments to the register for the local authority to remain compliant. Children who attend school will be on and off the register where tutoring is completed outside a school setting. I am concerned about the administrative burden of adding multiple children across many productions to the register and the repetitive strain that this would cause local authorities, which rarely have a designated full-time officer in this role now. Safeguarding should be at the heart of protecting child performers; it should not create administrative and repetitive burdens, resulting in loss of opportunity and driving away investments.
