From music festivals to sporting events, thousands of people gathering all in one place - but how many of these events are truly safeguarding-aware?!
In this episode, Chris East chats with Thomas Stead , owner and founder of X2Consult (read as 'Time 2 Consult'), an event safeguarding expert who works with organisers to identify risks, close gaps, and prevent safeguarding failures before they happen.
In this episode, they discuss:
• Why “We’ve never had a problem” is a dangerous mindset
• How to spot and fix gaps before an incident occurs
• Why thinking like a disruptor helps prevent safeguarding failures!
Whether you’re an event organiser, security lead, or just curious about behind-the-scenes safety, this episode is a must-listen.
