Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) Variation (consent and application)
Premises Licences that authorise the sale of alcohol must specify an individual as the designated premises supervisor (DPS).
Only the licence holder can apply to vary a licence to nominate a new DPS.
The person nominated as the new DPS on a Premises Licence must complete a consent form. The DPS must be over 18 years of age and must hold a personal licence.
Important Note: Any proposed DPS must be entitled to work in the United Kingdom and must not be subject to a condition preventing them from doing work relating to the carrying on of a licensable activity
Those who employ an adult where they do so in the knowledge, or with reasonable cause to believe, that the employee is disqualified by reason of their immigration status will be committing an offence under the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006.
