- should we have to refuse entry to any person or ask an attendee to leave a Love Social Event for any reason, including, without limitation, inappropriate behaviour, we will advise our Designated Child Protection Officer. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that any such person will be supervised by the staff at the Venue until their parents/guardians - other than in exceptional circumstances only persons who are employed to work at or supervise the Event will be present at the Venue. We do not permit any customer over the age of 18 to these Events although we are committed to liaising openly with parents and carers.

Child Protection Policy for Love Social Events
We recognise that the welfare of young persons who attend our ukclubculture events isparamount and that we have a duty of care.

*Our Designated Child Protection Officer is responsible for:

- monitoring and recording concerns;
- making referrals to authorities in the case of any complaint without delay; and
- contacting the appropriate authorities to express their concerns, in circumstances where a young person has refused to remain within the safety of the venue and it is thought that the young person is vulnerable because of drug / alcohol use or
emotional difficulties.

LUMINAR’S MANAGEMENT RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ADMISSION FOR ANY REASON AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION
Smoking Policy for Love Social Events
Love Social events are non smoking and therefore no customer is allowed to bring cigarettes, matches or lighters with them into our venues. We approach the issue of customers attending Love Social events trying to bring cigarettes with them in the way set out below:-
Our starting point is to remember that it is integral to the success of Love Social events that we ensure that under 18s can enjoy an event which is held in a safe environment.
It is necessary to remember this because many of the people who actually buy the tickets will be parents and they need confirmation and re-assurance that their children will be safe while at our venues.
In many areas we request and receive the support of the local headmasters/teachers to distribute flyers at their schools. This support is more likely to be forthcoming if the Love Social events are cigarette free because the school is able to help promote something which is both fun and healthy.
It is one of the unique selling points of Love Social that we provide a nightclub experience for under 18s in top venues, with great lighting, great effects, and especially great DJs and music. These events must be held without sale or consumption of alcohol or drugs and without cigarettes. Indeed the law has recently changed to prevent those who are under 18 buying tobacco products.
To ensure that Love Social events are free of cigarettes we operate the following policies:
1. we make it absolutely clear on the tickets and booking forms and websites etc that cigarettes are not allowed at Love Social events for these venues.
2. when people buy a ticket they are agreeing to adhere to these terms and conditions of entry.
3. if they come to the venue and try to enter while in possession of cigarettes either they leave and
dont come in, or, if they wish to come in, they dispose of their cigarettes and associated items.
4. the customer therefore makes a choice either to keep their cigarettes etc. and leave, or dispose of them and enter.
5. the choice is theirs, there is no question that we are confiscating them (as this could imply that we will return the cigarettes at the end of the evening - which we will not)
6. if the customer has chosen to throw them away all we need to do is to provide bin for them to throw them into so as to avoid littering.
