Events

Generally, the sooner things can be planned, the better. It's far easier to modify an approved event than it is to create a new event from scratch, so it's always worth submitting things like risk assessments, budget notifications and catering forms to the guild as soon as physically possible even if some details aren't finalised yet rather than waiting until details are confirmed but it's now too late to submit things.

The pre-prepared risk assessments (PPRAs) designed by the Guild are very broad, so most of our events can fall under these - saving us the effort of re-writing new risk assessments though check the individual event pages above for where this is not the case.

The School of Computer Science has been incredibly helpful in supporting events and it's essential to work well with them to succeed.

The biggest part of this is any event involving us giving out alcohol that take place in the school, we have to have a member of staff present. Unfortunately, the school is of the opinion that student staff do not count as real staff, so reach out to early to make sure you can find someone who's free. This typically ends up being our primary contact.
