Overview
This online training course is a broad overview of the huge changes that the events industry and its partners in Local Authorities and Emergency Services have undergone in the last two years because of the coronavirus pandemic. It will consider existing guidance and best practice learned from event sites as the industry relaunches and reshapes itself. This session will also consider the future and changes caused by COVID-19, the Manchester Arena bombing and its subsequent enquiry and the UEFA Euro 2020 report.
This two-hour module examines what strategies have and have not worked and the next steps required for the safe entertainment for the public. This course will continue to be reviewed against government guidance and monitor the Protect Duty as government shapes it. Content will be updated throughout spring and summer as the combined impacts of all these developments are felt throughout the events industry.
