  Conditions offered by the applicant at Variation Stage (August 2018)

   

  The Prevention of Crime & Disorder

   

   

                       We will maintain a recordable CCTV system, capable of providing pictures of evidential quality.  Cameras shall (where permitted) encompass all ingress and egress from the premises including fire exits, outside areas and all working areas where the sale/supply of alcohol occurs.  The CCTV system within the premises is remotely monitored 24 hours a day by the Society's control centre at Wherstead Park.  In the event of an incident being reported the footage will be downloaded at Wherstead Park, time and date marked, and retained for no less than 28 days.  The footage will  be made available to the Police/Local Authority within 36 hours of their request.

   

                       Records of all incidents (injury, refusals, age challenge) are kept and maintained on the premises.  Records are time and date marked and produced to the Police/Licensing Officers on demand.  A record of all injury/accidents on the premises is also maintained off-site at Wherstead Park.

   

  Public Safety

   

                       The store manager retains responsibility for the premises whilst it is open, with a wider Management Team to support and deputise in their absence.  Bespoke policies, processes, procedures and risk assessments have been developed and enforced to ensure and maintain the health, safety, welfare and security of employees and the public at the premises.

   

  The Prevention of Public Nuisance

   

                       Whilst recognising that it cannot be responsible for the conduct of third parties, the Society will take action to alleviate public nuisance on and in the immediate vicinity of its premises by means of properly considered hours of operation during which alcohol and other age-related products will be sold to the public.

   

  The Protection of Children from Harm

   

                       The Society has in place policies for the regular training of its employees to prevent the sale of alcohol to those under the age of 18 years.  The Society maintains a refusal register at the premise.  The Society's policy requires its employees to actively challenge any individual who wishes to purchase alcohol or any other age related product, but appears to be under 25 years of age (Challenge 25), to prove their age by means of a photographic identification.

   

                       The Society actively supports the use of photo identity cards and will use the Citizen Card where local authority schemes are not available or suitable. All staff are trained on the Society's Challenge 25 policy (including the completion of a questionnaire) prior to being permitted to serve alcohol.  Training records are maintained at the Society's head office and will be available on request by the Police and Local Authority Licensing Officers.  Staff members receive regular re-fresher training to ensure that they are up to date with the latest legislation/policies.
