Guidance for completing your application

You should include the steps you intend to take to support these objectives in your application. If this information isn’t included we will be advising the appropriate licensing authority that you have failed to include these details and this could affect the success of your application.

Please use the guidance in the document in the more information section to make sure you have given sufficient information in your application.
