L&A Security Group Stewards

The Role of Event Stewards

Being easily accessible to your attendees, event stewards must offer a reassuring and personable presence in order to present themselves and the event in the best possible way. The versatility of a steward is a key aspect; they can be employed to manage crowds, direct traffic and/or to monitor what is happening in certain areas of the event.

Other general aspects of a manned guarding job include:

• Managing entry into the event – including ticket/ID checking.
• Undertaking body and bag searches.
• Effectively dealing with any anti-social behaviour.
• Liaising with supervisors, event management and local authorities if required.

The number of stewards that is needed for a particular event will depend on factors such as the number of attendees, the type of event, size of location and in some cases, special regulations set by the local authority. With so much to think about, this is why many organisers turn to professional security companies to take care of this important, vital aspect of the event. Able to sufficiently organise the correct number of manned guarding, a professional security company can take the worry about the safety and security into their own hands – leaving the event organiser to concentrate on other aspects of their job.
