To help protect everyone working on and attending venues and events through an agile, informed, and connected community.
Preparedness / empowerment / resilience / security
The Decision Support Centre (DSC) is an initiative designed to support venues and events.
The DSC hosts the National Events Database, creating a picture of UK event activity in time and place:
Registration on the database is secure and simple: as an organiser you can add your venue or event information, enter or update your event dates, and indicate key characteristics – such as whether you likely qualify for Martyn’s Law, are licensed, or operating a Public space amongst other factors.
Data is securely held and forms part of a live, map-based platform that underpins another initiative – the Decision Support Centre, or DSC, a monitoring and coordination hub designed to look ‘beyond the fence-line’.
In practice, that means joining up local knowledge, event calendars, and available resources, so you’re not operating in silos.
We provide a growing suite of tools including the Events & Venues Toolkit, Incident Response Playbook and, soon to come, a CPD Certified Responsible Persons Training course, developed in alignment with emerging national guidance and practical operational insight. Have a look at our Resources page for more information.
