Event Management

If you are holding an event you need to understand that you are legally responsible for the safety of anyone attending. When you plan your event you should take into account the following pointers.

Create a planning timetable including key dates
Identify a team of people to help plan, organise and run the event, who can take responsibility for public safety
Be clear about what you can achieve on your budget
Carry out a risk assessment to ensure public safety

Consider whether your event will cause disruption to traffic and or the local community.

You may require a licence for your event. Follow this link for more information on licensing.
