This course is a joint initiative between the EPC and the Football Licensing Authority. It builds on the excellent partnership we established in delivering the Public Safety at Sports Grounds and Events course, but this one is not primarily about football. As the author of the Green Guide and the series of Sports Grounds and Stadia Guides, the FLA can give general guidance about how to apply these beyond football. It has been directly involved with Ascot Racecourse and in preparations for the 2012 Olympics. It was also consulted by the Home Office in the preparation of the Good Practice Safety Guide for events on public highways. The EPC-FLA partnership reflects a joined–up approach to public safety management between the Cabinet Office and the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. As such, we offer the definitive interpretation of legislation, guidance and advice and the highest standards of interactive, participative learning – which is subject to rigorous and continuous evaluation.
The course starts by establishing what the generic elements of the terms of reference for a SAG might look like, and who should comprise its membership – in terms of core, statutory and non-statutory/invited representatives. It will also consider the workings of large and small SAGs in respect of the full range of relevant places and events, from the certificated venue to the unlicensed event. This will give the course a grounding that will be exploited in exercises based on different venues, including a racecourse, a sports stadium and an urban public festival. These will focus on developing specific terms of reference and developing skills and competencies for working in SAGs. Other sessions will include a formal case study and derivation of lessons learned, the policing of events, issues relating to capacities and rates of passage and applying safety certification.
There are many different types of SAGs and their main concerns differ from area to area. We recognise this diversity and have based our course on the common principles of good practice that should inform all their activities. It is anticipated that the course will be available at the college and off-site at a location of the customer’s choice.
