Assign an event organiser

An event organizer is someone who plans and runs the event, and makes sure it runs smoothly. They must:

  • choose someone to be the event safety officer - they should have experience and be able to show they know what they’re doing
  • write and Event Safety and Management plan
  • include a map of the event site showing things like entrances, exits, toilets, first aid points and emergency routes
  • include a risk assessment
  • share any other important information that helps explain how the event will run safely. This could include crowd plans, emergency contacts or staff roles
  • get Disclosure and Barring Service checks for staff working directly with children
