Introduction
Aim
This unit will enable learners to understand the effects of licensing legislation and the legislative responsibilities of employers, including consumer protection and the implications of health, safety and hygiene legislation.
Unit abstract
This unit will allow learners to develop a practical understanding of the legislation relating to the management of licensed premises. Learners need to develop understanding of the implications of the legislation on licensed premises from a management perspective. Learners will examine the effects of licensing legislation. They will look at types of licences, types of licensed premises, the procedures involved in applying for a licence, and conduct and security issues relating to the management of licensed premises. Learners will also investigate consumer protection, including weights and measures, employer liability and issues relating to misleading information. Learners will focus on health and safety legislation and regulations, the duties and responsibilities of the licensee, and the legislative responsibilities of employers in relation to their staff.
