ANNEX 2 - CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERATING SCHEDULE
Steps taken to promote the four Licensing objectives
General
The store intends to operate to a high standard with regard with regard to the sale of alcohol. All staff have been fully trained in their responsibilities with regard to the sale of alcohol, and are retrained by the company on a periodic basis.
The prevention of crime and disorder
An extensive CCTV system is in operation to provide security and identify any culprit who is intent in causing trouble in store. All alcohol offered for sale is electronically tagged for security, and the store employs a store detective during trading hours. All alcohol kept in storage, i.e. off the sales floor is securely locked away, with only limited personnel having access to the stock. All current security measures will remain in operation. All staff have been fully trained in this area.
Public Safety
Staff trained to be alert to any potential danger to customers and react accordingly. If they are unable to quickly diffuse the situation without risk to customers or staff, then they are instructed to call the police.
The prevention of public nuisance
Loitering in store is not encouraged to prevent the potential of causing nuisance to customers, either in requesting they purchase alcohol on their behalf, or general intimidating behaviour. The entrance to the store is also visible from the till point area, and so can be monitored by the staff. CCTV cameras will also pick up any disturbance in this area and on the sales floor.
The protection of children from harm
Only photographic ID is accepted (passport, driving licence, citizen card with hologram). Anyone who appears to be under the age of 21 is challenged to provide ID. If the customer is unable to provide identification then no sale is made. No ID no sale. Any staff member who may be under the age of 18 must call a senior staff member to take over the sale and complete the transaction and an inbuilt till prompt is in place to ensure this takes place. If it is known that a customer intends to purchase alcohol to provide to minors then that sale will be refused.
