Who We Are

We are an independent public body set up under the Football Spectators Act 1989 and funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

What we do?

The Sports Grounds Safety Authority helps to create the conditions for safe and enjoyable experiences for spectators at all sports grounds, not only in England and Wales, but around the world.  We provide trusted advice and guidance, and we will use our experience and commitment to drive continuous improvement. We will work in collaboration with our partners to educate and inform, and we will champion innovation in the structures and systems for safety management.

We act as the authority on all matters relating to sports grounds safety, and offer our knowledge and advice on the application of Sports Grounds Safety publications (including the Green Guide and Safety Management) which are used by a range of sports nationally and internationally. We also act as a source of authoritative advice in relation to Accessible Stadia, and we remain committed to ensuring all spectators can enjoy watching sport in safety, security and comfort.
