Crowd Management and Stewarding Plan with Steward Briefing

About this document

What it’s for

Crowd-related incidents are among the most serious risks at events. A crowd management plan shows how people will safely arrive, move around, leave and, if necessary, evacuate. It also sets out how stewards will be deployed and briefed. Safety Advisory Groups and licensing authorities will expect one for larger events.

When to use it

  • For any event where crowds could gather, queue or move in large numbers
  • When calculating safe capacity for a site or area
  • When briefing stewards and security before the event

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part 1 – Capacity
  • Part 2 – Phases
  • Part 3 – Steward deployment
  • Part 4 – Steward briefing

How to complete it

  • Calculate safe capacity using the areas and exit widths in Part 1
  • Plan each phase of the event (arrival, during, departure)
  • Brief every steward using Part 4 and record attendance

Key points to check

  • Use the Purple Guide and the Green Guide (for sports grounds) for detailed calculation methods
  • Stewards carrying out security activities (such as searching or ejecting) may need an SIA licence
