Her mother is the licence holder and she is on the licence, apparently there is a loophole

Found this article about youngest landlord in England only 12 years old.
Under the old law 16 and 17-year-olds could work unsupervised behind bars provided they were employed under a recognised apprentice training scheme, while children aged 15 or under could not work behind a bar at all.
But a little-noticed effect of Labour's Licensing Act, which came into force a year ago, was to scrap that lower age limit.
Now any child can sell drinks behind a bar, provided they are watched by an adult licensee or designated supervisor. Chris Hardacre, 12, can barely reach the beer pumps at the pub where he works.

you have to be 18 to serve alcohol. You can work in the kitchen at a younger age but cannot be in the pub.
I did a course a few years ago and things may have changed since then but under 18 cant work in the area in which alcohol is being served-even walking through or delivering to tables.
How can a pub only serve 18+ when there is a 15yr old workin behind the bar?
Should be reported but Im not sure who to-remember this could cause a lot of trouble for the owner/manager. They could loose their job licence and home.
Make sure you are in the right before you report anything.

The rules and regulations vary all over the world but this is the rules for the State City and Country im in South Australia Adelaide Australia
A minor may be employed on licensed premises to carry out tasks such as clearing tables or general cleaning duties, but may not be employed to sell, supply or serve liquor on the licensed premises.
However, a minor may be employed to sell, supply or serve liquor on the licensed premises if he or she is a child of the licensee or of an approved responsible person and he or she is aged 16 years of age or more, and has been approved by the licensing authority.
In the case where the minor is a child of the licensee or of an approved responsible person, aged 16 years of age or older and is a resident at the premises, then approval by the licensing authority is not required. However, if the licensed premises also has a gaming machine licence, the minor is not allowed to enter the gaming area(s) of the licensed premises.

There is never any loophole u must be 18, this should be reported to your local licensing authority, unless the pub has a family licence then she will not even be allowed in the bar never mind serving in the bar. I work in a bar and anyone under 18 is only allowed in if they are eating with an adult and only as the pub has a family licence, if u don't know about your local licencing authority just pop into your local police station and let them sort this

You can serve alcohol in a restaurant if you’re 16 or 17 as long as the alcohol is drunk with a meal. You can also serve alcohol in a bar, but the licence holder or bar manager needs to approve the sale.

I served a 14 year old girl as she hung out in the bar all the time. One day a drunk let the cat out of the bag and told me i was serving a 14 year old girl..but thats not your question...
yes, the owner can lose her liquor license over serving a minor even if the minor lives under the bar. the law is firm on this and i would not take exception to dropping a dime on this establishment

If she has a license then yes she is allowed to serve as long as she has someone over 18 with liquor licence overseeing her .I believe the youngest in UK is a lad of around 12 he lives in a pub with his dad and is allowed to serve with supervision

The law regarding age is the same for serving alcohol as buying it. You have to be 18. If what you say is true they are breaking the law and could have their licence revoked.

not if you get certified permission from the landlord and i think you need a work permit from the council
its perfectly legal and to all those people who say you need to be over 18 why do BIG supermarkets let staff 16 - 18 sell alcohol? Cos the person in charge has to authorise the purchase first nouthing else

In Western Australia a 15yo is allowed to work at a pub but not sell alcohol - they can clear glasses etc but not serve.
The licensee may be a group of people but they must all be over 18.
