A Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) is the person who has day to day responsibility for the running of the premises. The DPS will act as the primary contact for the local authority and the police and must be contactable at all times. If the local authority or police have any questions or concerns about the business or licence, they will expect to be able to reach the DPS and/or arrange meetings which the DPS will be asked to attend.

A DPS must hold a personal licence and any premises where alcohol is supplied under a premises licence must have a DPS. They will be named on the premises licence. A  summary copy of the premises licence must be displayed at the premises, this is also known as Part B.

The DPS and all staff at the premises must promote the four licensing objectives at all times: Prevention of crime and disorder, Public safety, Prevention of public nuisance, Protection of children from harm.

 The DPS must inform the relevant licensing authority if he or she wishes to be removed as DPS. Within 48 hours of the notice being given to the licensing authority, the individual must also give the premises licence holder a copy of the Notice sent to the licensing authority.

The DPS does not have to be present at the premises at all times. However, it will be expected that the DPS will spend a significant amount of time on the premises and will be fully aware of the procedures in place at the premises.

Licensing authorities often recommend that a list of delegated authority to sell or supply alcohol should be completed and kept on the premises. In the event that the DPS is not on the premises this authorises all members of staff named to undertake the sale or supply of alcohol.

Although the premises may only have one DPS, more than one personal licence holder may be employed to work at the premises. A personal licence holder can supervise or authorise the sale of alcohol.

Only the Chief Officer of Police will be able to make representations about the DPS if they feel that the crime prevention objective could be undermined. This could include fears that the DPS would not be able to fulfil the responsibilities in respect of the crime prevention objective for more than one premises at the same time. Where the Chief Officer of Police makes representations about the DPS, the licensing authority must hold a hearing to consider them, unless all parties agree that this is unnecessary.

As a result of the consideration of the representations, the licensing authority may refuse to specify the DPS if it considers it necessary for the promotion of the crime prevention objective to do so.

The only requirement for being a DPS is that the individual concerned must be the holder of a personal licence. So, in certain circumstances, a personal licence holder could be the DPS at more than one premises but the premises would need to be in close proximity with each other.
