Good Record Keeping Supports Responsible Premises Management
The Licensing Act 2003 places responsibilities on licensed operators, and premises licence conditions may require certain records to be maintained.
Although not every licensed premises is legally required to keep every type of record book, maintaining appropriate records can help demonstrate good management practices.
Accurate records can also be valuable when investigating incidents, reviewing staff procedures, identifying training needs or responding to enquiries from responsible authorities.
Our books are designed to make these everyday tasks easier.
Operators should always check their individual premises licence conditions and applicable legal obligations to establish which records they are required to maintain.
