Your event

Coordination on the day

The event organiser is ultimately responsible for the safety of those participating in, and visiting, the event. You will have to consider the following:

• safety briefing of marshals / stewards
• ‘walk through’ the venue/route to ensure event plans work
• monitor weather conditions and possible impacts on your event
• implement contingency plans as appropriate
• liaise with vendors / contractors

Parades

You should ensure that:

• the parade starts and finishes at the prescribed time and follows the agreed route;
• there are sufficient stewards/marshals, all wearing high visibility reflective jackets or vests;
• the marshals comply with directions given by a Police Officer
