Regulation 28 Night-work
Notwithstanding regulations 19 to 21, and subject to the restrictions and conditions in paragraphs (2) and (3), a licensing authority may permit a child to take part in a performance after the latest permitted hour if it is satisfied that a performance must take place after that hour.
The licensing authority must only permit the child to take part in a performance after midnight and before the earliest permitted hour if it is satisfied that is impracticable for the performance to be completed before midnight.
Where the licensing authority permits a child to take part in a performance after the latest permitted hour, the following restrictions and conditions apply—
the number of hours during which the child takes part in a performance after the latest permitted hour must be included when calculating the maximum number of hours during which the child may take part in a performance or rehearsal on any one day under regulations 19 to 21;
the child must not take part in any other performance or rehearsal until at least 16 hours have elapsed since the end of the child’s part in the performance; and
where the child takes part in a performance after the latest permitted hour on 2 successive days, the licensing authority must not permit the child to take part in any further performance after the latest permitted hour during the 7 days immediately following those 2 days.
In this regulation “latest permitted hour” and “earliest permitted hour” in relation to a child mean the latest hour and the earliest hour respectively at which that child may be present at the place of performance or rehearsal under regulations 19 to 21.
