Good event planning will make for a safe and enjoyable event. The forms below will guide you through some of the precedures you will need to follow.
The Event Management Plan should cover most of the aspects of good event planning that you will need to consider
To see if your event is considered a HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW risk - fill in EVENT CHECK LIST 1, add up your scores and compare them against the overall scores of the three categories
For a more detailed assessment of your event go to Event Check List 2
If you are planning an event to celebrate the Olympics or planning to give an existing event an Olympic Theme then you should get it registered on the National Events Calendar - contact details are included on the form.
At first glance some of these forms look daunting! Don't despair this website includes copies of completed Event Management Plans and Risk Assessments from other events held in the Borough.
Preparing an Event Management Plan and the various Risk Assessments will help event organisers focus on aspects of their event which need extra attention to ensure the safety of those attending. Risk Assessments help minimise the potential for accidents at the events.
We've all heard the phrase "its health and safety gone mad!" and some, I am sure, will feel that all this form filling is totally unnecessary. You must remember however that as an Event Organiser you have a duty of care to maintain a safe environment for your visitors and must take reasonable steps to ensure that due consideration has been given to public safety.
