Conwy Safety Advisory Group

Conwy County Borough Council chairs and coordinates the Conwy Safety Advisory Group (SAG). This group consists of representatives from the Council and other organisations.

The group meets to:

• promote the safety aspects of an event, such as community events and other similar public mass gatherings:
  • to help ensure that any event does not impinge on the health, safety or wellbeing of the community where the event is to take place.
• develop/promote joint working arrangements:
  • to ensure event organisers are clear it is their legal duty to comply with relevant health and safety legislation, and that the Conwy Safety Advisory Group is advisory only. The group works closely with the Council's Events and Marketing department.
