SPECTATOR SAFETY FRAMEWORK ANNOUNCEMENT
SkillsActive apologises for the inaccuracy of wording used in the rationale for the two new Spectator Safety apprenticeship frameworks and to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. We intend to re-issue the frameworks with a correct version of the wording as soon as circumstances permit as we do not want to disadvantage either employers, training providers or individuals who have started on their programme of training in the meantime we hope that the statement will act as a clarification to the framework’s rationale:
"The Football Licensing Authority has received a number of enquiries concerning an advertising feature in the August edition of FC Business which incorrectly stated that the FLA require that all steward supervisors hold a relevant level 3 spectator safety qualification. The FLA’s position remains that “we asks local authorities to include a condition in safety certificates requiring stewards working at Premier and Football League grounds to have or be working towards obtaining a level 2 qualification. The FLA also recommends that supervisors should have or be working towards a level 3 qualification and safety officers should have or be working towards a level 4 qualification.”
