Event management

If you are holding an event you need to understand that you are legally responsible for the safety of anyone attending. When you plan your event you should:

• create a planning timetable including key dates
• identify a team of people to help plan, organise and run the event, who can take responsibility for public safety
• be clear about what you can achieve on your budget
• carry out a risk assessment to ensure public safety
• you should also consider whether your event will cause disruption to traffic and or the local community.

You may also require a licence for your event. For more information see our licensing pages.

A guide has been produced to help support anyone looking to run an event in Oxfordshire and contains practical advice on issues such as safety, licensing and traffic management.
