Safe Events Global is facilitating this course, which will be delivered by Joe Pearson of A2Z Resilience in the UK.
The one-day course is aimed at professionals who are likely to be operating in an Event Control Room and likely to be involved in making decisions during a crisis and engaging with other key stakeholders to do so.
This course will give you the knowledge and skills, aligned to good practice, operating at the Silver / Tactical level during a crisis. The course fully aligns with the UK National Legislation and Guidance, JESIP Doctrine and the National Resilience Standards.
It will help prepare you, as a Tactical multi-level agency leader, to respond on behalf of your organisation to a local or major incident.
Upon completion of the course, you will receive a CPD certificate.

This is an IN-PERSON course, which will require you to attend in our office in Dublin, Ireland. There is no option to do this remotely.
We offered this course for the first time publicly in Ireland last year. It proved so popular that we had to run it for a 2nd day. This represents a superb opportunity for you to enhance your skills in this area.

Some of the feedback from the previous course:
* 'This Workshop should become a mandatory requirement for all event industry staff!'
- 'The training was delivered in a really concise and easily understandable way so we covered a lot in a short time. The JESIP method itself makes complete sense and I think should be adopted by all agencies as a matter of priority.'
- 'I think it struck the right balance of conversation, presentation, breaks and the offices were very nice.'
- 'A must-do course for people involved in events.'

Training Course Overview
The Manchester Arena Inquiry highlighted the importance for people in the events industry and other responders to understand how to apply the Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Principles (JESIP).
The purpose of the Joint Doctrine is to provide a framework of standard models and principles, which, when applied consistently, will improve interoperability between organisations across all levels of command.
This training has been designed to ensure that those attending can apply the JESIP principles and models, such as the Joint Decision Model (JDM), at any stage of the incident. Similarly, other JESIP models describing principles for joint working, decision controls, and joint understanding of risk can further underpin these processes.
JESIP is the thread that should run through all plans and subsequent incidents as all incident phases need to consider multi-agency working, best served by following the JESIP principles. Source https://www.jesip.org.uk/
Through case studies, the discussion will examine ‘what went wrong and why?’ while examining the objective recommendations that allow open discussions on ‘what can we learn?’
This CPD-accredited course fully aligns with the National Legislation and Guidance, JESIP Doctrine and the National Resilience Standards.
