Gambling Policy

The licensing authority is required by regulations to state the principles it will apply in exercising its powers under Section 157(h) of the Act to designate, in writing, a body which is competent to advise the authority about the protection of children from harm. The principles are:

• the need for the body to be responsible for an area covering the whole of the licensing authority's area
• the need for the body to be answerable to democratically elected persons, rather than any particular vested interest group

In accordance with the Gambling Commission's Guidance for local authorities, this licensing authority designates the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Board for this purpose.

The contact details of all the Responsible Authorities under the Gambling Act 2005 for this licensing authority area are available on the Council's website.
