Working in Safety Advisory Groups - Dates for the next round of The Working in Safety Advisory Groups course have recently been announced.

The course, run by the EPC, in conjunction with the FLA, aims to provide definitive guidance on the work of safety advisory groups. The course is run regularly through the year, according to the level of demand.

We believe it will be of great value not merely to new SAG chairs and members but also to those who have been chairs, attended or advised SAGs for some time. It will offer the opportunity both to listen to the experts and to explore issues with them, as well as with, fellow SAG members

Home Office Circular No. 97/1988 - We are aware that advice has been circulated to a large number of local authorities by Cumbria County Council suggesting that the Statutory Guidance in Home Office Circular No 97/1988, issued by the Secretary of State under the provisions of sections 26(8) and sections 34(2) of the Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987 (1987 Act), has been “repealed” by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.  

It has been confirmed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport that the advice circulated by Cumbria County Council is incorrect.  The advice contained in Home Office Circular 97/1988 must continue to be applied by local authorities when determining if a stand is a “regulated stand” for the purposes of the Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987.

CCTV code of practice - The Information Commissioners Office has recently issued a revised guidance which provides good practice advice for those involved in operating CCTV and other devices which view or record images of individuals.
