Proposed changes to the SIA's licensing criteria (Get Licensed)
We are consulting on proposed changes to the criteria we use when making our licensing decisions. We publish the criteria in our 'Get Licensed' document.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
We are proposing to:
- add criminal offences to the current list of offences we consider when we make licensing decisions
- introduce a new approach to licensing decisions where licence applicants or licence holders have certain types of offences on their record
We are inviting public feedback on our proposed changes. This is so we can make sure that the changes we are proposing to make are the right ones.
