Safeguarding
Hirers organising events involving young people and/or for adults at risk of harm are expected to have their own safeguarding policy and procedures, and to undertake a visit/risk assessment with the theatre at the time of booking to ensure that all access and changing room requirements can be met. The Headgate Theatre does not supply chaperones for children, or a ‘responsible person’ for adults, to hirers.
Venue Hire Contract
Each hiring is underpinned by a contract, which is sent electronically and is to be signed digitally. The contract which you sign contains the hire dates and times and details which room has been hired. In signing this, you also agree to the terms and conditions of hire and it is important that you read this these terms carefully, as it sets out the obligations of both parties to the contract.
Licences
It is the responsibility of each hirer to establish whether their production, or individuals within it should be covered by a licence from Essex County Council. Information can be obtained from Essex County Council website
