Safety Advisory Group

Solihull Council coordinates the Safety Advisory Group (SAG), which meets regularly to consider large scale events or events that are likely to have a significant local impact.

The Safety Advisory Group is made up of representatives from Solihull Council and the emergency services plus other parties as appropriate.

The following documentation is required before a Safety Advisory Group meeting can be held. You can use your own format for these documents and the templates are provided to either use for your event, or as a guide to what is required.

• event manual - checklist of what this should include
• risk assessment - blank risk assessment template and an example completed risk assessment
• a copy of your public liability insurance policy is also required - the minimum level of cover is £5 million, or £10 million for larger events
