Licensing and regulating sunbed businesses

Additional Information

England worryingly trails behind the rest of the UK when it comes to making sure sunbed facilities educate users about the risks of sunbed use.

Evidence shows sunbed use greatly increases the risk of developing the deadliest form of skin cancer.

We are asking the Government to give every local authority in England the power to license and regulate sunbed businesses; ensuring English sunbed users have the same level of information and protection found in the rest of the UK.

We want to ensure that every sunbed business:
- is supervised by a properly trained member of staff
- displays and provides sunbed users with detailed information about how to use a sunbed and the associated health risks
- doesn't display or provide misleading information
- provides protective eyewear for users
- follows health and safety rules
