Safety advice is on offer to anyone organising a summer event - be it a large-scale fete or small jumble sale.
A Guide to Organising Safe Events is a new leaflet from Croydon Council that gives advice on how to minimise potential hazards.
Areas covered include fire precautions, crowd control, first aid and risk assessment. Organisers are legally responsible for the safety of everyone at an event.
The leaflet is available from libraries, Taberner House or environmental health and trading standards department on 0181 760 5466.
