West and North Northamptonshire Event Safety Partnership

West and North Northamptonshire Event Safety Partnership (ESP) offers advice to event organisers and local Safety Advisory Groups (SAGs).

This helps them to provide guidance to event organisers.

ESP can:

  • provide a forum of strategic advice
  • gather intelligence and share best practice
  • provide consistent and proportionate advice and guidance
  • support local SAGs and encourage a positive culture of event safety
  • positively engage with regulatory and enforcement bodies
  • consider relevant legislation and approved codes of practice applicable to the event industry
  • compile and maintain a database of events in Northamptonshire
  • maintain and develop links with anyone associated with the event industry

SAGs are made up of officers from the local councils, emergency services, other relevant bodies and the event organiser.
