How We Support Local Authorities with Event Safety
How We Support Local Authorities with Event Safety
From bustling street markets and music festivals to remembrance parades and community fun days, local authorities across the UK are responsible for delivering a wide variety of public events throughout the year. While these occasions are a vital part of civic life, they also require comprehensive planning and experienced safety support to ensure everything runs smoothly — and safely.
At [Your Company Name], we’re proud to work alongside local councils and public bodies, providing expert event safety services that are reliable, professional and fully compliant. Here’s how we help bring community events to life while protecting the public and supporting local authority teams at every stage.
- Trained Security Personnel for Public Events
We supply SIA-licensed security officers and stewards who are trained in:
Crowd management and control
Access and entry point supervision
Lost child procedures
Emergency evacuation protocols
Conflict resolution and de-escalation
Radio communication and teamwork
Whether it’s a fireworks display in the town centre or a seasonal fair in the local park, our guards ensure that both visitors and staff feel safe and supported. - Assistance with Risk Assessments and Planning
Many councils are required to submit event plans to Safety Advisory Groups (SAGs). We assist by:
Conducting detailed site-specific risk assessments
Advising on suitable guard numbers and locations
Helping develop emergency action plans
Supporting documentation for SAG approval
Liaising with police, fire and ambulance services where needed
We understand the compliance responsibilities councils face, and we ensure every part of our service supports your legal and operational obligations. - Crowd and Traffic Management
Managing the flow of people and vehicles is crucial for any public event. Our teams provide:
Marshalling for pedestrian routes and crossings
Monitoring of high-traffic zones (e.g. stages, food courts)
Support for road closures and diversions
Barrier management and queue control
Coordination with local traffic and parking teams
Our experience ensures your event remains accessible while minimising disruption to residents and businesses. - Community-Focused, Professional Service
We recognise that our officers represent not just our company, but also your local authority. That’s why we always deliver:
Polite, approachable staff who are great with the public
Clear signage, uniforms and communication
Inclusive support for families, elderly guests and vulnerable attendees
Calm, professional presence in challenging situations
We take great pride in reflecting your council’s values and commitment to public safety. - Post-Event Reporting and Review
After the event, we offer detailed debriefs and written reports, covering:
Incident logs and responses
Guard activity summaries
Crowd behaviour observations
Recommendations for future events
This helps councils improve event delivery year-on-year and strengthens funding and public accountability.
We’ve supported events run by:
Borough and district councils
Town and parish councils
BID (Business Improvement District) teams
Local partnerships and neighbourhood forums
Police and emergency service liaisons
From annual summer festivals to royal visits and civic ceremonies, we bring the same high standard of professionalism every time.
Event safety is more than just crowd control — it’s about creating a welcoming, secure environment where communities can come together and enjoy shared experiences. By working closely with local authorities, we help make that happen, combining local knowledge with expert planning and hands-on support.
If your council or public body is planning events in 2025 and beyond, we’d be delighted to be part of your trusted safety team.
