Supported by Will Hodgson, MD of Symphotech, Eddy Grant, CMIOSH, Director of Safety for Symphotech and Programme Leader Events, University of Cumbria - a leading academic and practitioner in event safety and event law – will present the sessions which will help organisers to prepare and implement the appropriate safety measures to mitigate the risks presented by Coronavirus, to satisfy licensing officials and keep artists, crew and audiences safe.
The programme is open to all AFO Festival and Individual Members; however, the resources and presentation will refer specifically to the prevailing legislative and regulatory context for England. The methodology set out will be useful in other contexts, but members operating outside England will need to cross-refer to their pertaining local laws and regulations.
The webinars are free to attend to AFO members. Not a member?
