This learning path takes you through the regulatory framework for sports, amusement and recreation businesses in order. Each step links to a guide that covers one part of your obligations. Follow them in sequence to build a complete picture.
Step 1 — Find out which rules apply
Identify whether your business falls under the universal workplace duties alone or also triggers activity-specific licences, certificates or permits.
Step 2 — Set up your workplace safely
Work through the five universal duties every sports, amusement and recreation business must meet: health and safety, fire safety, employers' liability insurance, equality and data protection.
Step 3 — Meet your activity-specific duties
If you serve alcohol, host spectator sports, operate a pool, coach children, run fairground rides, offer adventure activities or operate gaming machines, follow this guide for the licensing, certification, safeguarding and safety duties that apply on top of the universal foundation.
Step 4 — Confirm you are compliant
Work through the compliance checklist to confirm every obligation is in place before you open or continue trading.
