Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with the Operating Schedule
General - all four licensing objectives
Generally we have high levels of good quality CCTV and a number of procedures and regulations in place to protect the public and our staff.
STAFF TRAINING
The Premises Licence Holder and/or Designated Premises Supervisor will ensure all staff employed at the venue are aware of the law and their responsibilities under the Licensing Act. Staff must undertake online training in licensing law, such as the BIIAB Award in Responsible Alcohol Retailing or any other recognised training courses. All new staff must receive this training within 4 weeks of commencing employment at the premises. Refresher training must be given every 12 months.
An online record shall be retained of all such training, and shall include details of the date the training was given, the date that refresher training is next due, and the type of training provided. All staff receiving this training will sign the training record to confirm the training has been completed and provided. Such record will be produced for inspection by the Police or other authorised officers of the licensing authority upon request.
The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
We have in place full CCTV of all areas inside and outside to the front and back of the building recording constantly with night vision and stored for 60 days. We have six panic buttons located within the store. We have limited cash available and a safe on a seven minute delay. All alcohol will be locked in a fridge outside of customer view.
CCTV
A tamper-proof digital colour CCTV system must be installed and maintained to a satisfactory standard at the premises.
The system must run and record continuously for 24 hours a day, 7 days per week and recorded footage must be stored for a minimum of 60 days.
The system must provide a clear head and shoulders view to an evidential quality on every entry/exit route and within any other vulnerable areas as identified by Greater Manchester Police.
Recorded footage must be provided to a representative of any responsible authority on request. Such footage must be provided in an immediately viewable format and must include any software etc. which is required to view the footage. Any discs, portable drives or other storage media onto which footage is transferred must be provided by the premises and sufficient stock of such storage media must be kept on the premises at all times.
A member of staff who is trained to operate the system and supply footage must be present at the premises at all times when licensable activities are taking place.
The Designated Premises Supervisor must ensure that the CCTV system is checked at least once every week by a suitably trained member of staff. This check must include the operation of the cameras, the recording facilities, the facilities for providing footage and the accuracy of the time & date. A written record of these checks must be kept, including a signature of the person carrying out the check. This written record must be kept on the premises at all times and made available to a representative of any responsible authority on request.
Suitable signage informing customers that a CCTV system is in operation must be placed in prominent positions within the premises, including information on the Data Protection Act and the Human Rights act.
Public Safety
We have very little access for our customers on the premises limiting the amount of danger or harm they could be in. We have a different access to the building for staff, again removing the public from any harm. We complete three daily checks as to the cleanliness and safety of the customer area.
The Prevention of Public Nuisance
Late night staff and drivers are kept to a bare minimum to decrease any noise. Also alcohol is only available for delivery so will be consumed privately, not in public.
The Protection of Children from Harm
Children are not allowed on the premises and will not be served without an adult present. We will obviously not be able to sell alcohol to anyone without proof of age.
The premises shall adopt ‘Challenge 25’ as its age verification policy, and staff shall be trained in respect of this policy.
The only forms of acceptable ID shall be a photo style driving licence, a passport, an identification card which bears the ‘PASS’ logo in a hologram format, and military ID.
All orders for alcohol are made via the internet must be made along side food for the minimum order amount of £8.99. The person responsible for the delivery of alcohol will ask for appropriate ID at the point of handover of the goods. If the person appears to be under 25 years and no appropriate ID is provided then the alcohol will not be delivered and will be returned to the shop.
All details of alcohol orders that are not delivered will be inputted into the bad order computer system and details recorded of why the delivery wasn’t made and any costs lost.
