Event Management Plans

Large and major events should be backed up by an Event Management Plan which
covers all the safety and organisational aspects of the event.

It should be produced in conjunction with your risk assessment - the risks you identify
should inform your decisions about the way the event will be managed.

If the event is being considered by Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Safety
Advisory Group for Events, they will want to see your Event Management Plan at least
one week before you meet with them.

This A-Z Guide covers the type of information that should be included within your plan.
It is not an exhaustive list and further information may be requested by the Safety
Advisory Group for Events depending on the nature of the event.

The bigger the event and/or the riskier the activities, the more detailed the plan should
be.
