EDEXCEL Level 4 NVQ in Spectator Safety Management
Qualification summary
Currently Edexcel offers the Level 2 NVQ in Spectator Safety and there is no subsequent progression route. Edexcel plan to offer the Level 3 NVQ in Spectator Safety. The aim of this Level 4 NVQ is to provide subsequent opportunities for progression.
Spectator Safety will be a high profile area in the light of the London Olympic Games in 2012. The Football Licensing Authority has indicated that in the new 2008/9 season, all spectator safety personnel will require a qualification appropriate to their level of responsibility (Level 2 - steward, Level 3 - team leader and Level 4 - team manager). There are approximately 50 stewards per ground, plus one team leader and one manager. The qualifications would also apply to team leaders or managers for cricket grounds.
The aim of the qualification is to evidence the learning of those typically working as stadium managers or safety officers at spectator events, eg concerts or carnivals, where the safety of spectators is of paramount importance. Usually, the candidate would be an employee who is responsible for the overall stewarding operation.
