Licensing - Staff training

All staff require to have undergone a minimum of 2 hours mandatory training before they are permitted to sell or serve alcohol on licensed premises. Failure to do so is an offence and breach of the Premises Licence.

Staff who have undertaken the mandatory training must then sign a Staff Training Record, which is kept on the premises and must be available at all times for inspection by the Licensing Standards Officer. Failure to keep training records or have them so readily available for inspection at all times is a breach of the Premises Licence.

A form of recommended staff training record is available for download and use
