Licensing Information
The Solomon Kids
Solomon Kids can provide you with children who are in professional theatrical training from birth to the age of 18.
It is against the law to use unlicensed children and therefore we need ideally 7-10 working days to obtain the required licence issued for each child.
Please note that this is only a sample of the children that we have and many more are available on our files so if you do not see what you require please feel free to contact us.
We can also provide licensed Chaperones to accompany the children where necessary. All of our Chaperones are familiar with the film and television industry, many being professional artistes themselves.
There are certain guidelines as to the amount of time that our children can be on set/performing and these can be printed out for your future use.
Our children can be viewed on our secure website pages although if you wish to use these facilities please apply to the office to get your secure login details and password.
If you wish to discuss anything regarding our children please contact our Office Manager – Helen Havis who will be happy to discuss your requirements.
