Do you guarantee work?

Do castings and shoots take place during school time?

  • Majority of castings and shoots take place during school hours. Clients aim to provide casting times for school age children after school but this isn’t always possible. A Child Performance Licence is required for children to take part in productions and this requires school permission.

Do I apply for the Child Performance Licence?

  • A Child Performance Licence is required for all children under 16 years old to take part in all productions. For children 5 years old and over, this will include a school permission letter. We will guide you through the process when we need to apply for the application and we will apply direct to your Local Education Authority.

How does payment work?

  • Clients can take up to 90 days to pay. Arwen & Co will pay outstanding model fee’s each time the money is received from the client. We process payment via BACS and will request payment details when the first model fee is received.

What happens next?

  • You will receive a phone call from us should we wish to offer your child representation.
