Conditions consistent with the operating schedule
There will be full training given to all members of staff on the four licensing objectives. We will have regular checks with staff , where we will re-read the licensing objectives so that everyone is up to date with any changes and continuously has the knowledge retained. Our plan of action is to keep the environment a safe place for both public and staff . The measures we will be taking will also help us to not become a nuisance to any neighbours
Prevention of crime and disorder
1/ With regards to the prevention of crime and disorder our premises will have operating CCTV 24 hours of the day which will be regularly checked. The recording will be stored adequately for a minimum period of 28 days and will be made available to police and other necessary services such as the Licensing authority upon request.
2/ The premises licence owner will have the responsibility of passing on the names of the members of staff who trained and familiar with the operating of the equipment. This is so that copies of data are able to provided on request. The designated premises licence will be the one who notifies the licensing office or the police in the occurrence of CCTV break down or malfunction. We will have staff training every six months with regards to the Licensing Act and the four Licensing objectives and there will be a written record of this. This record will be available to to the police, any authorised officer of the council on request for inspection.
3/ With regards to our door staff there will be a daily record kept on the premises which will log the; full name, date of birth and SIA badge number of those working that day. This log will be made available on request to the police, SIA Inspectors and the Authorised officers of the Licensing authority.
4/ If we feel the premises is becoming overcrowded we will limit the amount of people inside to reduce crime and disorder. We will also have a customer 'code of conduct' displayed on the wall so that they know what behaviour is expected of them and if this is not obeyed, said person will be banned from entering the premises and this will be logged into a book system.
Public safety
5/ With regards to public safety we will prevent customers from leaving the premises with glasses or glass bottles, all bottles will be in a locked in a bin. Our reasoning for this is so that no accidents or injuries occur that may cause harm to staff or members of the public. In the case of any accidents or injuries the said person will be seen to by our first aid trained member off staff and the appropriate care will be given. Another reason for this is so that no person can use the glass bottles as a form of weapon.
6/ When using our outside area which we hope to get soon, all refreshments will be served in plastic cups, beer and wine. This is again to keep staff and the public safe when visiting the premises.
Prevention of public nuisance
7/ With regards to public nuisance, we will have clear legible notices at all doors and exits to notify customers to please respect our local neighbours, they will specify that our customers will be desired leave the premises quietly and in a sensible manner. Any noise or music including amplified voices, will not be generally audible inside noise sensitive property at any time.
8/ The DPS or our business will carry out noise level checks in the surrounding area to ensure there is no disruption. So that there is no potential nuisance being caused to other local businesses and residence.
9/ To also reduce the loudness of noise all the doors and windows will be closed to keep the sound at an acceptable level. In the upcoming future any outside area will not be used for licensable activities for the consumption of alcohol after 22:00pm daily.
Protection of children from harm
10/ With regards to the protection of children from harm we will always promote a 'challenge 25' proof of age policy. Alongside this we will also have this policy displayed at all times within the premises. Any person who we deem to be under the age of 25 will be asked to show identification for proof of age, this will me done by staff and security before they are sold alcohol. We will only accept passports or a driving licence as a form of Identification bearing the official 'PASS' accreditation hologram.
11/ Alongside our 'challenge 25' policy we will keep a log book which highlights description of individuals and incidents that may have happened. This is so that no person under the age of 18 is to be served alcohol. This log book will be made available to the police and authorised officers of the Licensing Authority on request.
