Chaperones

The council approves people to be chaperones for child actors under the age of 16. 

If you want to become a chaperone, you must apply to the council in the area you live - we can only approve chaperones who live in Sandwell.

Apply to become a chaperone

As part of the chaperone registration you will be required to undertake the NSPCC Chaperone Training, (Protecting Children in Entertainment), the fee is £25.00.
