| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides which state’s child employment regime applies to each shoot day, confirms the production holds the employer authority or licence before the child starts, checks the schedule against the code or licence conditions, and settles the parent consents. |

## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the cast list, the call sheets and the shooting schedule, list every performer under the relevant age, the state where each will work, the hours, breaks and supervision each schedule implies, and the authority, licence or permit each one needs, and draft the application and the parent consent from the approved templates.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which state’s child employment regime applies to each shoot day, confirms the production holds the employer authority or licence before the child starts, checks the schedule against the code or licence conditions, and settles the parent consents.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each child’s age on every shoot day, not only at casting.
2. Confirm the authority or licence has issued, not only been applied for, before the first call.
3. Check each day’s call sheet hours, breaks and supervision against the regime’s conditions.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
