Event risk is the possibility that an unforeseen circumstance may affect your event
A risk rating is an estimation of how likely this is to happen.
Complete our simple Event Risk Matrix Quiz at the link below to receive a risk rating.
The quiz will give your event a rating of low risk, medium risk, or high risk, depending on:
- What kind of event it is
- Expected participant numbers and demographic
- What sorts of activities there are
- The kind of venue
- The distance from the nearest hospital.
If your event is medium or high risk, we will ask for more detailed planning around potential risks in your event application. Your risk rating will also determine how much time you need to allow for submitting your application, as follows:
Low Risk - Please submit your application at least four weeks prior to the event
Medium risk - Please submit your application at least eight weeks prior to the event
High risk - Please submit your application at least 12 weeks prior to the event
