Public Event Safety Advisory Group
If you are planning to organize an outdoor event within the Darlington Borough Council Area PESAG would like to know about it.
PESAG has information and guidance to assist in the safe delivery of events that can be accessed from this page.
The Public Events Safety Advisory Group (PESAG) has been set up to provide advice and guidance to organisers of public events in the Darlington Borough Council Area. The core members of the group are senior officers from all the emergency services working in the borough of Darlington (Police, Fire and Rescue Service and the Ambulance NHS Trust) and Council Services (Highways, Building Control, Environmental Health and Licensing).
PESAG's main objectives are:
- To promote high levels of safety and welfare at events by giving advice
- To promote good practice in safety and welfare planning for events
- To ensure events cause minimal adverse impact
All comments and observation made by PESAG are always advisory. It has no statutory compulsion and organisers are under no obligation to submit information, attend PESAG meetings, or follow PESAG's advice. However, each of the constituent members have their own regulatory role and may exercise their powers independently.
