Yesterday we received a call asking to send out an application for a potential filming opportunity for 7/8 year olds.

Here’s the information we were given: 

We’re delighted to have been commissioned to make series two and three of Animal Care Club for Milkshake! on Channel 5. Each episode will be around 11 minutes long, and will feature four children (working in pairs) looking after animals of all shapes and sizes! We’ll be featuring farm animals, zoo animals, pets and wildlife in the series and at every opportunity children will be getting involved with animal care. It’ll be a really fun, educational series and will be a fantastic experience for the children taking part.

Age wise, we’re looking for 7-8-year-olds. We’re looking for a mix of boys/girls and diversity is also important so we can be representative of wider society to our young audience.

The children taking part would need to be off school for one day for the filming and we’d need to get child performance licenses through the local authorities. The process for this can take quite a while (up to 21 working days) so we’d be hoping to get the ball rolling as soon as we can so we can get all the paperwork in place as soon as the locations have been confirmed. The filming period is from the end of April (w/c 28th) in blocks until the 8th August, so some of the filming will fall during school holidays.

For the filming day we would need two parents/guardians to come with the children (one adult per pair) to act as chaperones. We generally find children prefer it when there’s an adult there that they know, and it’ll be fun for the adult too, I’m sure! If this isn’t possible, we would bring in an external licensed chaperone for the filming day.

Any children lucky enough to be chosen for this opportunity, will have there leave authorised.
