The Safety Advisory Group (SAG) comprises senior officers from all the emergency services (Police, Fire and Rescue Service, Ambulance, NHS Trust) as well as Cambridge City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council and other relevant organisations.

The group is chaired by Cambridge City Council and can be contacted through Debbie Stoker, secretary to the group, on 01223 457879 or by emailing licensing@cambridge.gov.uk.

The group meets regularly to consider forthcoming events and to give advice to organisers.

In this way, all the agencies can consider the implications and ensure that there are sufficient resources available should there be an incident for which they are required.

Typical examples of events would include:

  • fetes and fairs
  • open-air concerts and music festivals
  • trade shows
  • sporting events
  • open-air entertainment
  • firework displays
  • large-scale company parties
  • processions, marches and carnivals
  • street parties
  • religious events
