Body of Persons Approval (BOPA)

A BOPA can be granted to an organisation for a single performance or a series of performances within a specified time, providing that:

  • no payment is made to the child or to anyone else
  • the child does not require absence from school

If a BOPA is granted, you do not need to apply for an individual licence for each child.

To request an application form, email child.licensing@stockport.gov.uk.

We aim to process BOPA applications within 21 working days.
