Conditions 01 (1) The responsible person must ensure that staff on relevant premises do not carry out, arrange or participate in any irresponsible promotions in relation to the premises.

(a) games or other activities which require or encourage, or are designed to require or encourage, individuals to-
(i) drink a quantity of alcohol within a time limit (other than to drink alcohol sold or supplied on the premises before the cessation of the period in which the responsible person is authorised to sell or supply alcohol), or
(ii) drink as much alcohol as possible (whether within a time limit or otherwise);

(b) provision of unlimited or unspecified quantities of alcohol free or for a fixed or discounted fee to the public or to a group defined by a particular characteristic in a manner which carries a significant risk of undermining a licensing objective;

(c) provision of free or discounted alcohol or any other thing as a prize to encourage or reward the purchase and consumption of alcohol over a period of 24 hours or less in a manner which carries a significant risk of undermining a licensing objective;

(d) selling or supplying alcohol in association with promotional posters or flyers on, or in the vicinity of, the premises which can reasonably be considered to condone, encourage or glamorise anti-social behaviour or to refer to the effects of drunkenness in any favourable manner;

(e) dispensing alcohol directly by one person into the mouth of another (other than where that other person is unable to drink without assistance by reason of disability).

02 The responsible person must ensure that free potable water is provided on request to customers where it is reasonably available.

(2) The designated premises supervisor in relation to the premises licence must ensure that the supply of alcohol at the premises is carried on in accordance with the age verification policy.

(3) Subject to sub-paragraph (4) the policy must require individuals who appear to the responsible person to be under 18 years of age (or such older age as may be specified in the policy) to produce on request, before being served alcohol, identification bearing their photograph, date of birth and either-

(a) a holographic mark, or

(b) an ultraviolet feature

4) The age verification policy may make provision permitting a responsible person to accept identification in digital form ('relevant ID') instead of identification of a type described in sub-paragraph (3).

(5) Where provision envisaged by sub-paragraph (4) is included in the policy, the policy must make provision dealing with the circumstance described in paragraph (6).

(6) The circumstance in this sub-paragraph arises where-

(a)the responsible person has reason to believe that a person ('P') who seeks to be supplied with alcohol from a place to which the age verification policy applies has not attained the age of 18, or such greater age as the age verification policy may prescribe ('the relevant age'); and

(b)P has indicated their wish to use the relevant ID.

(7) When the circumstance in paragraph (6) arises, the policy must state-

(a)that P is obliged, upon the request of the responsible person, to make available to the responsible person the means by which their relevant ID may be verified; but

(b)that the responsible person may only accept P's relevant ID where the condition in sub-paragraph (8) applies.

(8) The condition in this sub-paragraph is that the responsible person is covered by an agreement with a DVSP ('the relevant DVSP') for the provision of digital verification services where-

(b)the relevant DVSP has agreed that it will deliver identification to the responsible person that reaches at least a medium level of confidence;

(c)that level of confidence has been verified by a DVSP, whether that DVSP is the relevant DVSP or another; and

(9) In this paragraph-

(a)'DVSP' means a person who provides digital verification services, and is included in the register maintained by the Secretary of State under section 32 (DVS register) of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 ('the 2025 Act');

(b)'DVS trust framework' is to be construed in accordance with section 28 (DVS trust framework) of the 2025 Act;

(c)'medium level of confidence', in respect of identification described in sub-paragraph (8)(b), is to be construed in accordance with-

(i)Version 0.4 of the DVS trust framework, in the case that the relevant DVSP, or as the case may be, another DVSP provides the service described in sub-paragraph (8)(c), and is registered as a provider of that service, in the DVS register, in accordance with Version 0.4 of the DVS trust framework;

(ii)Version 1.0 of the DVS trust framework, in the case that the relevant DVSP, or as the case may be, another DVSP provides the service described in sub-paragraph (8)(c), and is registered as a provider of that service, in the DVS register, in accordance with Version 1.0 of the DVS trust framework.

(10) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (6) 'supplied' is to be construed in accordance with section 14 of the Licensing Act 2003.
