In the event of an incident being reported the footage will be downloaded, time and date marked, andretained for no less than 20 days. The footage will be made available to the Police/Local Authority within 36 hours of their request.Records of all incidents (injury/refusals/age challenge) are kept and maintained on the premises.Records are time and date marked and produced to the Police/Licensing Officers on demand. A record of all injury/accidents on the premises is also maintained off-site at Wherstead Park.
The store manager retains responsibility for the premises whilst it is open, with a wider Management Team to support and deputise in their absence. Bespoke policies, processes, procedures and risk assessments have been developed and enforced to ensure and maintain the health, safety, welfare and security of employees and the public at the premises.
Whilst recognising that it cannot be responsible for the conduct of third parties, the Society will take action to alleviate public nuisance on and in the immediate vicinity of its premises by means of properly considered hours of operation during which alcohol and other age-related products will be sold to the public.
The Society has in place policies for the regular training of its employees to prevent the sale of alcohol to those under the age of 18 years. The Society maintains a refusal register at the premise.
