Learning Options
Our Level 2 Awareness of Spectator Safety online course contains all the necessary information you need to go on and achieve the Level 2 Award in Understanding Stewarding at Spectator Events qualification. It also covers the knowledge component of the Level 2 National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) Certificate in Spectator Safety (RQF).
This online course equips you to work as a steward in sports grounds, festivals, carnivals, parades, or any other event that requires spectator safety. It is designed to prepare stewards to control the entry, exit and movement of people at spectator events, monitor spectators and deal with crowd problems, and emergencies and manage conflict.
An awareness of Spectator Safety is for learners working as safety stewards at live spectator events, such as sporting or musical events, or those who want to work as one. It is also for those who advance their careers and work as a stage pit operative, event safety officer, member of an incident response team, or crowd safety manager. Learning management system to resolve conflicts is an integral part of spectator safety supervision.
Regulations
There are several pieces of legislation about sports ground safety.
- The Sports Grounds Safety Act of 1975
The Secretary of State (for Media and Sport) can designate any sports ground with a seating capacity of more than 10,000 spectators as requiring a safety certificate to admit spectators under the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975. Local governments are also empowered under the 1975 Act to provide such safety certifications to certify that sports grounds are safe.
- Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
Clubs must take reasonable precautions to ensure that spectators are not exposed to health and safety dangers under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act. Failure to do so is a criminal offence. If a fan is hurt due to a club's failure to avert a known safety risk is a violation of the act.
- Football Spectators Act 1989
The Football Spectators Act of 1989 regulated spectator admissions to specific football matches in England and Wales. The Football Spectators Order 2000 defines this as matches held in international stadiums and Premier League and English Football League facilities.
- Sports Grounds Safety Authority Act 2011
The Sports Ground Safety Authority Act 2011 established the SGSA, which took over the FLA's roles and responsibilities and added an advising role for general safety at sports grounds outside of England for sports other than football.
- Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007
Suppose a fan is killed due to significant management failings resulting in a gross breach of a duty of care. In that case, a club might face prosecution and maximum fines under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007. This might be important if there was a systemic safety failure at a stadium that the club's management was aware of but did nothing about.
