The coroner's concerns
1. lack of written safety policy
“Create and adopt a written safety policy/protocol in which you clearly document the steps you will put in place to protect your guests, your expectation of them and their conduct and a clear warning of the risks associated with the events they may attend”
2. lack of venue-specific risk policy
“Create/adopt a written policy/protocol for providing services (entertainment) at a venue that is associated with risks unique/specific to that venue which should include bespoke warnings/guidance to be given to clients who attend”
3. unclear responsibility allocation
“entertainment services in venue where another provider is responsible for organisation, safety of guests - discuss with the provider the details and clearly document the distinction in those responsibilities and give guidance to guests accordingly”
