Body treatment licences and permits

If you are offering body modification, you must have the right licences in place for your business. 

Most licences of this type cover the premises where treatments are carried out, and the practitioners offering them. 

We will check for qualifications and that health and safety standards are met. As part of considering some applications we may ask Nottinghamshire Police to carry out background checks on practitioners.
