About chaperones Children who perform and take part in TV, film, theatre or modelling work must be looked after by a chaperone. This can be a parent, carer or a registered chaperone.
To become a registered chaperone with Brighton & Hove City Council you need to live and pay Council Tax in the city.
You will be required to complete an in-person ID check at Hove Town Hall as a part of your chaperone application.
