Some sports events can also attract certain elements that enjoy violence and confrontation. Alcohol and drugs can also play a part in aggression at many events.

Good planning and understanding of the background to the event and team dynamics can lower the risks for productions. Foreseeable violent situations should be discussed with your Safety Adviser or if required, the Corporate Security Team or the High Risk Team. Where violence is expected, you can refuse to cover a story. If you decide to proceed, then a separate risk assessment is likely to be required approved by a senior manager.
