Answer: A Chaperone (or Matron) is the title of the licensed person appointed to protect, control and care for children whilst they are performing. To quote the law, they are acting in 'loco parentis and should exercise the care which a good parent might be reasonably expected to give that child' There are several types of Chaperone:- Filming (on a film set), Theatre (backstage and rehearsals for a theatre), Touring (looking after a child 24 hours a day (except when being tutored), whilst the child is working away from home), Travelling (picking a child up from home and taking them to another Chaperone at their place of work) and Parent (chaperoning their own child only). - Related Link
