Delivering quality service based on reputation

Trusted by event teams to keep things on track.


Many event teams are doing their best with limited resources, time and oversight. 


But safety doesn’t leave room for guesswork.


That’s where we come in.


We help you:


  • Take safeguarding, welfare and emergency planning off your worry list
  • Make sure every compliance box is genuinely covered
  • Prepare your team, not just your paperwork
  • Get peace of mind, knowing someone experienced has it in hand
  • Stay confident under scrutiny, from licensing to live operations
  • Train your teams to manage in the first instance


Because confidence doesn’t come from hoping it’ll be fine. It comes from knowing you’re ready.

 Behavioural Detection Officer

Acredited with Highfield to work as a Behavourial Detection Officer

About the Founder Chris Hawkins

Safeguarding consultant, medical consultant, safety consultant. First aid training.

Everything we do is rooted in first-hand experience.

 For over 25 years, I’ve worked at the sharp end of medical and safety - from frontline Prehospital emergency care and air ambulance critical care, to managing medical teams and safeguarding operations at some of the UK’s highest-profile motorsport and live events.


I’ve led medical and circuit safety teams at Silverstone Circuits Ltd, serving as the Designated Safeguarding Lead and CQC Registered Manager, and supported organisations through inspections, strategic advisory groups, licensing, risk assessments and real-world emergencies. 


Today, I act as Senior Safeguarding Event Manager and Safeguarding Officer for two major music and sporting venues in the North of England. I maintain my paramedic registration through regular clinical work, primarily in live event and motorsport settings as well as being a Consultant Safety Advisor and working towards a Venue Safety Officer certification.


My approach is grounded in real-world experience. I focus on what works in practice, not just what looks good on paper. Whether it’s a fast-moving show day or a licensing meeting, I bring a calm, professional, steady presence that helps teams stay focused, meet their responsibilities and keep people safe.
