Redditch Safety Advisory Group

Redditch Safety Advisory Group

The Redditch Safety Advisory Group (SAG) is a forum for discussing and advising on the public safety of events taking place in Redditch Borough. The group aims to help organisers with the planning and management of an event and to encourage cooperation and coordination between all relevant agencies. 

The role of the SAG is to provide advice, based on a recognised standards of good practice. It is not the SAG's responsibility to prepare or approve risk assessments or traffic management plans etc. 

Sometimes the arrangements for an event may be judged so poor, or the potential for harm so great, that the SAG cannot support it.

This is only an advisory failure by the SAG, but may result in further investigation or enforcement by the relevant organisations, as part of their own statutory functions.
