	This licence specifies the number of days on which a child may perform and the period, not exceeding six months, in which the performance may take place may be granted only to the British Broadcasting Corporation, the Independent Television Authority, a programme contractor within the meaning of section 1(5) of the Television Act 1964 or a body supplying programmes to such a programme contractor to be broadcast by the Independent Television authority or in respect of a child taking part in a performance to be recorded (by whatever means) with a view to its use in a film intended for public exhibition.
	Any person who fails to observe any condition subject to which a licence is granted or knowingly or recklessly makes any false statement in or in connection with an application for a licence is liable to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale (currently £1,000) or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or both (section 40 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1963).

	Please ask the parents of the child performing to complete Part 2 of the application form and send this in as part of your application.
