Overview
To complement our L2 Award in Understanding Stewarding at Spectator Events, we are excited to announce the launch of two new qualifications:
- LASER Level 2 Certificate in Spectator Safety
- LASER Level 3 Certificate in Spectator Safety Supervision
This comprehensive suite of three qualifications is designed to equip learners with the essential knowledge and skills required to work as stewards at spectator events. The role of a steward is pivotal, ensuring the safety and security of attendees while contributing to the smooth operation of events.
Stewarding is a versatile and vital profession that spans a wide variety of events, including sporting matches, live music gigs and festivals, theatre and comedy performances, parades and carnivals, and cherished community gatherings. Stewards play a crucial role in creating a safe, organized, and enjoyable experience for all participants.
A steward’s duties can vary depending on the type of venue and the specific event, but they always revolve around ensuring safety and maintaining order.
LASER works closely with the Sports Ground Safety Authority (SGSA) to promote the professionalisation of the Spectator Safety sector. To find more about developments in the Football Spectator Safety arena click here.
