Rights of entry, production of notice
Right of entry where temporary event notice given
Police or an authorised officer may, at any reasonable time, enter the premises to which a temporary event notice relates to assess the likely effect of the notice on the promotion of the crime prevention objective. If so requested, the officer must produce evidence of his authority to exercise the power. Intentionally obstructing an officer is an offence, Level 2: £500
Duty to keep and produce temporary event notice
Whenever premises are being used for one or more licensable activities under a TEN, the premises user must either secure that a copy of the temporary event notice, together with a copy of any statement of conditions, is prominently displayed at the premises, or kept at the premises either in his custody or a nominated person who is preset at the event. When the notice is not on display, an authorised officer may require to produce the notice.
The premises user will not need to be present at times when licensable activities take place under a TEN. However, the premises user is responsible for operating the event legally and remains liable if certain offences are committed such as allowing disorderly conduct or selling alcohol to under-18s.
