On the 1st of October 2011 all licensed premises in Scotland are now required to operate a challenge policy.
This policy is Challenge 25
This simply means
Anyone who appears under the age of 25 should be challenged to prove their age when attempting to purchase alcohol or any other age restricted products
Section 6 of The Alcohol etc. (Scotland) Act 2010 introduces a new mandatory condition for all premises licences and occasional licences requiring that there must be an age verification policy in place in relation to the sale of alcohol on the premises. The section has set a minimum age of 25 years for the policy where it appears to the person selling the alcohol that the customer may be under the age of 25 years. Premises may set any minimum age for their own policy provided that it is 25 years or over.

Challenge 25 for Scotand
It became law for all retail premises selling alcohol and age restricted products to operate a " Challenge 25 policy". The Act provides no guidance as to the wording of any Policy but the licence holder must have a Policy in place.
So what is Challenge 25? let us explain in simple terms!
Anyone who appears under the age of 25 should be challenged to prove their age when attempting to purchase alcohol or any other age restricted products
In verifying age, it is reasonable to presume that only the following documents will be satisfactory to comply with the verification policy:-
Passport; or
European Photocard Driving Licence; or
Proof of age card bearing a ‘PASS’ hologram.
European Photocard Driving Licence; or
Proof of age card bearing a ‘PASS’ hologram.
We at alcohol licence.org would advise on the following forms of identification.
- UK Driving Licence
- UK Provisional Driving Licence
- Valid Passport
- Pass Hologram Identity Card (Young Scott Card) etc
If the above documentation is not produced on request then the Policy cannot be complied with and the sale of alcohol should be refused.
The Policy must be in place on or before Saturday 1 October 2011. A failure to comply with this mandatory condition will be a criminal offence in terms of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 which could result in a fine and/or imprisonment. It could also result in a review of the Premises Licence resulting in suspension or revocation of the Licence.
So to help we have been asked to design a Challenge 25 Poster for Scotland so here it is and you can download it free of charge!
