DSC Resource Library

Practical resources to support compliance and readiness

Welcome to the Decision Support Centre’s Resource Library — a hub for accessing tools, templates, and training designed to help you meet the your compliance demands and deliver safer events and venues.

Whether you’re a Responsible Person, event organiser, or venue operator, this page offers access to our Events and Venues Toolkit and Incident Response Playbooks, each designed with practical guidance you can use immediately. More resources will be added as guidance around Martyn’s Law becomes available from the Home Office and the appointed regulator, the SIA.

You’ll also find enquiry forms to express interest in our Responsible Persons Training and the DSC Monitoring Service, both tailored to support readiness, compliance, and public safety across all types of organisations — from grassroots to national scale.
