There's a range of advice and support available if you want to run a community event:
Safety Advisory Group
The Safety Advisory Group (SAG) works in partnership with emergency services and professional bodies to discuss the health and safety issues around staging an event. The group offers professional guidance.
The group's objectives are:
- To promote high levels of safety and welfare at events by giving advice and guidance
- To promote good practice in safety and welfare planning for events
- To ensure events cause minimal adverse impact to the community
- Encourage cooperation and coordination between all relevant agencies so that events are safe and successful
If you intend to hold a large event (with more than 500 people attending) please send your event management plans or enquires to: sag@selby.gov.uk.
We recommend that you make contact with the group well in advance of the event - at least six months, if possible.
