Summary
A BOPA can be granted to any type of organisation - professional or amateur. This can be for a single performance or for a series of performances within a specified time, providing no payment is made to the child or to anyone else in respect of the child taking part in the performance, and the child does not require absence from school.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that they inform other Local authorities that children from that authority will be involved in a performance and included in a BOPA.
