Legal & licences
As a PTA committee you have a duty of care to ensure that you are operating legally. We know that intepreting and understanding current legal requirements can be very confusing so we have produced a series of Information sheets focussing on the legal aspects of running a PTA. If you need any further clarification please do not hesitate to contact us or your local regional adviser.
