THST provides evidence to DCMS on fan safety

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) recently called for written evidence with regards to spectator safety at major sporting events.

The DCMS Select Committee had asked for evidence to be received by September 8, 2022 in response to the following questions:

  • Are UK stadiums and crowd management policies sufficient to maintain the safety of large volumes of fans at major events?
  • What steps can be taken to protect UK fans abroad at major events?
  • Should regulations governing fans attending football matches be reviewed?

Kat Law and Martin Cloake, THST Official co-chairs from 2015-2022, provided an in-depth response, which can be read in full below.
