What you'll need to become a chaperone

To become a registered chaperone with Brighton & Hove City Council, you need to:

  • live and pay Council Tax in the city
  • apply for online learning training
  • complete an in-person ID check at Hove Town Hall

DBS check

If you have an existing enhanced DBS (within the last 3 years) and/or you're on the DBS update service, send an email to the Children in entertainment and employment licensing team before you make a payment, as the fee will be different for a volunteer chaperone licence.

If you do not have a DBS, search for a volunteer chaperone licence or a professional chaperone licence in the search box on the payment page.
