Family Action’s Post

Good read from the Guardian. In a scene that struggles for recognition and funding, the new found fame from Raygun’s performance may not be the fame they want. Imagine trying to present yourself as a credible candidate for sponsorship and the only thing the person you are talking to has seen is Raygun doing the sprinkler. If I was advising a client on this, I would be looking for ways to reverse this. Don’t go for the cheap shot and get Raygun to do the kangaroo in your ad. Yes, it can be fun, and yes, you can wrap it up in some power-of-the-individual-critics-be-damned jargon, but you are still doing it at the expense of the wider break community. Instead how do you showcase and hero the wonder of breaking? How do you go deeper on the subject? How do you use Raygun and her moment in the limelight to lift up the whole scene? There is an opportunity here, don’t fluff it.

This year I have been presented with 'Crowd Management Plans" written by safety officers with no crowd safety experience (it added uo to 83 words in total) A security plan that doesn't have any CT or contingency planning, a major event in which the head of security is unable to write a Crowd Management plan nor did they have ANY experience of running events this size and, a company who's planning is done remotely and the author doesn't actually visit site. it seems lately I am reviewing other peoples planning docs more and more and I have to say it doesn't bode well for our industry, that's right I said industry ...... we are not security although there is undoubtedly and element of security we are not part of the safety team. Crowd management is an industry, a specialty and in some cases a gift but in all cases it requires lots of study backed with years of operational experience, umpteen mistakes uncountable near misses and millions of deep sighs of relief after a safe, "successful" event. A good crowd management team can change the complexion of the event entirely. When done well you would never know they're there and that's exactly how it should be. the person who plans the event should be there to lead it and the security team thoroughly briefed to ensure correct application. Security companies that add "crowd management" to their website without the qualifications, proper planning capabilities, capacity for correct application and commitment to the process should face prosecution under the trade discription act I hope the Boardmasters incident is reviewed properly and its findings published so the "industry" can learn from its findings and. we can continue to ensure our kids come home safe in one piece!
