How do I ensure that I don’t breach any of my premises licence conditions?
As you are no doubt aware, not complying with your obligations as a designated premises supervisor or a premises licence holder, can be expensive if not fatal to your business. Many offences carry an unlimited fine and some carry six months in prison. That’s not even taking into account the possibility of the premises licence being reviewed, suspended or the worst-case scenario revoked.
The best “defence” against these punishments is obviously, to avoid breaking the law in the first place. Most licence holders fall foul of the Licensing Act 2003 due to either failure to review processes or ignorance of the law and not a cynical attempt to subvert the rules.
Lack of knowledge is not a defence under the act, because as a licence holder it is expected that you have taken your role seriously enough to make yourself aware of the licence holder’s responsibilities under the Act.
It is possible to take out a “loss of licence insurance policy” which you would assume would take care of any loss of your premises licence. Most of these “loss of licence insurance policies” will cover you if there is a “sudden and unforeseen” loss of licence. As a general rule these insurance policies will not cover you if the loss of licence is due to either the actions of the licence holder whether knowingly or accidently or by neglect or omission or the police objecting to your licence, as these are not viewed as unforeseen. So as you can see this may not be the most suitable option if you wish to protect your licence.

Administration of your training records
Due diligence is an important aspect of running a premises with an alcohol licence. Due diligence means that you take all reasonable measures to avoid any breach of your licensing conditions. Training and training records are an integral part of proving that you as the premises licence holder have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that your premises is operating within the terms of your licence.
It is important that you are aware of which new staff require training when they join your business and which of the current staff have been trained to a sufficient standard, and any updates to their training are delivered at the relevant time. Not only should these measures be taken but it is vitally important that you can prove they have been taken. This is why it is important to have a coherent training schedule and well-maintained training records.
Innpacked can take care of both your training schedule and records. We can organise the relevant qualifications and alert you to when staff need training. We will also keep complete and administer staff records which you can access at any time and will provide proof of due diligence.
