Organising an Event

People at Wychwood Fayre

If you are holding an event you need to understand that you are legally responsible for the safety of anyone attending. The following advice should help you in your event planning.

• 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.

Follow this link for advice from the Health and Safety Executive website, which has a number of guides and leaflets available in their Publications section . Of particular interest may be the guide on managing crowds safely in the Free Leaflets section.
