Guest Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Hi all, It has been suggested to me that we need a "public viewing licence" for our tv if the children want to watch the tv or a dvd! Please please tell me that this is not true!!!!! Thanks Duggy p.s We have by the way got a tv licence.

eyfs1966 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 just out of interest are you asking this because you got unsolicited mail from a company offering this (as I did today) or for any specific reason. We don't have a tv at nursery, and only DVD's we watch are the one form child's eye media, which I am sure allow viewing at setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi eyfs, No, it was mentioned by our manager - I just wanted to see if other settings did this. We watch DVDs and Videos with the children, the sort of stuff that would be on the telly. Thanks, duggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugbabe Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 We are lucky as our building runs from a community centre which has an entertainment licence which covers all this But as far as I am aware, as a business, we have responsibilities to have these licences in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 It's my understanding that you need a public entertainment licence to watch DVDs, videos or listen to the radio. We needed a public entertainment licence to play the radio in the salon where I worked in the seventies, so it's not a new rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I thought that if you were watching them for educational purposes the licence wasnt needed. I know this is how my lads secondary school got round showing the Braveheart in History. (Even though it wasnt real history!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
