Consultation and communication
- Even where there is no statutory requirement, we shall formally consult local authorities and clubs about any proposed licence conditions on seating and standing accommodation.
- We shall give clubs the opportunity to make representations about any licence conditions before we impose them.
- We shall at all times seek what is necessary for the reasonable safety of the public at any particular ground.
- Before we issue any general guidance on safety we shall consult representatives of all those who will be affected and will take their views into account.
- We shall not impose any safety requirement without first trying to reach agreement with the local authority and club concerned.
- We shall use our legal powers only as a last resort.
- We shall visit grounds frequently to see them for ourselves and to listen to the views of clubs.
- We shall keep in close contact with each local authority and club so that they can quickly warn us of their problems or concerns.
