Challenge 21
Sheffield Licence Watch in partnership with Sheffield Trading Standards operates and supports a 'Challenge 21' initiative within Sheffield.
The 'Challenge 21' initiative encourages retailers and licensees to seek proof of age from anyone who appears to be under the age of 21.
The scheme was introduced because it was recognised that it can be very difficult to assess the age of a young person and to identify accurately whether someone is 17, 18, 19 or 20 but is usually easier to determine whether someone is 21.
If a licensed premise suspects a young person is under 21 years old, then identification should be requested.
Accepted Identification
- Current British Passport
- Photocard Driving Licence
- Photo ID Cards featuring the PASS Hologram
e.g. 'Citizencard' or 'ValidateUK' card
