The staff will be fully trained and some staff members may have obtained the BIIAB level 2 certificate and all will receive "in house" training on the sale of alcohol and will be re-trained as a minimum every 12 weeks.

We have a due diligence policy and undertake internal test purchases. The scanning system will prompt the staff to check the age of the customer when the alcohol is purchased.
A suitable Closed- Circuit Television (CCTV) system will be operational at the premises at all times when licensable activities are being carried out and at any other times where members of the public are present on the premises.
Public safety
The public safety measures with which the premises are provided will be maintained in good working order, and their adequacy will be determined on a regular basis, by carrying out a risk assessment.
I understand that the safety of occupants is also influenced by numbers of persons present, their disposition and the activities taking place, and therefore undertake to maintain a safe occupancy level.
