The guidance clearly sets out the role of the Safety Advisory Group (SAG), defining how it should be set up as well as identifying who should attend, what events should be considered by a SAG and what an organiser can expect when attending. The guidance focuses on quality assurance of event safety plans and offering sound safety advice to organisers.

With the increase in the number, variety and complexity of public events, from street parties to festivals, many local authorities now convene advisory groups for other types of activities which fall outside the legal framework for certificated sports grounds. This document seeks to provide guidance which could be applied to both types of advisory groups, reflecting the distinctive roles and status of each.

The Emergency Planning College has worked closely with partners in the entertainment and events industry and in government to ensure good practice in public safety is established and promoted through this guidance.
