L4 Spectator Safety Management – Course Details

Part 1: Classroom Phase

During the classroom phase of the course students will be taught about the safety officer role and how to plan for and manage spectator safety. Students will be given the opportunity to explore ideas and use the tools and techniques they have been taught.

Subjects include:

During the course students will be supported and encouraged to start to complete the knowledge workbooks required at phase 2 (though this is not compulsory).

At the end of the course students will be provided with a personal USB memory stick containing PDF’s of the course materials, videos and a library of useful guidance documents.
