• Annex 2 - Conditions Consistent with the premises operating schedule

  Conditions agreed through mediation with Suffolk Constabulary

   

  1.              A Challenge 25 policy will be implemented requiring all customers who appear to be under the age of 25 to produce photographic identification in the form of a passport, driving licence or proof of age scheme (PASS) approved identification, before alcohol can be supplied or sold to them. All staff will be instructed, through training, that alcohol cannot be supplied or sold unless valid identification is produced. The premises licence holder shall ensure that notices are prominently displayed in the premises to advise patrons and staff that a ‘Challenge 25’ scheme operates in the premises.

   

  2.              All staff engaged in the sale of alcohol will be trained in Responsible Retailing to a minimum standard of BIIAB level 1 or equivalent within 4 weeks of commencing employment at the premises.  This training can be administered in-house in accordance with the relevant criteria of this qualification.  Training records shall be kept on the premises and produced to the Police/Local Authority on request. Training should be reviewed every 6 months to ensure that staff are up to date with the latest legislation and their training records endorsed accordingly.

   

  3.              An Incident log will be kept at the premises, recording all incidents and refusals of the sale of alcohol. It will be made available to an authorised officer of the Police or Council on request. It must be completed within 24 hours of the occurrence and must record: a) occurrence date and time, b) names of staff and persons involved (if known), c) details of all incidents, crimes reported, refusals of the sale of alcohol, ejections, or banning of customers, and d) any visits by relevant authorities or emergency services, and the purpose of the visit.

   

  4.              The premises shall install and maintain a comprehensive CCTV system. CCTV will cover all public areas where licensable activities take place, including entry and exit points. The CCTV system shall continually record whilst the premises is open for licensable activities and when customers remain on the premises. All recordings shall be stored for a minimum period of 30 days with date and time stamping. Recordings shall be made available immediately upon the request of Police or an Authorised Officer. A staff member who is able to operate the system shall be on the premises at all times when the premises are open to the public. This staff member will be able to show recordings to Police or an Authorised Officer with minimum delay when requested and be able to download video onto a disc or memory stick, which can be played back on a computer or other digital retrieval system, within 24 hours of a request for download. The CCTV system will be regularly checked to ensure that it is functioning correctly.

   

  5.              A CCTV log must be maintained and endorsed by signature indicating that the system is checked weekly.  In the event of any failings or faults, any actions taken to remedy the failings or faults are recorded.  In the event of technical failure of the CCTV equipment, the Premises Licence Holder or DPS will report the failure to the Police and Licensing Authority immediately.

   

  6.              Sales of alcohol are not to include any super strength lagers, beers, or ciders where strength exceeds 6.5% ABV (alcohol by volume). This restriction shall not apply in respect of specialist branded, premium priced products - such as craft ales, local or micro-brewery specialist products, boxed gifts or national celebratory or commemorative beer, lager or cider.

   

  7.              The premises license holder and staff will only purchase alcohol for stock from wholesalers who are registered under the Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme (AWRS) as introduced by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

   

  8.              Where the off sale of alcohol is made via the internet, phone or mail order, the premises licence holder will be responsible for: a) making clear that the person ordering is automatically confirming that they are over 18, and b) for ensuring that any person delivering alcohol will operate a Challenge 25 policy whereby customers who do not look over 25 will be asked to provide proof of age to show that they are aged 18 or over at the point of delivery.
