The Guide has been produced by the Football League, Football Association and the
FA Premier League in consultation with the Football Licensing Authority and the Football
Safety Officers Association.
In 1995, the football authorities produced a document entltled 'Stewarding and
Safety Management at Football Grounds'. This guide elaborated on a comprehensive training
system for club stewards, including six training modules designed to prepare stewards to
effectively handle all aspects of their role. The guide has been widely circulated and is
generally regarded as the industry standard on stewards' training. To complement the
guide, the 'Training Package for Stewarding at Football Grounds' was produced in 1996 to
aid those delivering the training.
'Safety Management at Football Grounds' revises the 1995 guide and brings it up
to date by reflecting current examples of good practice and taking into account advice
given in the Training Package and the Fourth Edition of the Guide to Safety at Sports
Grounds, published in 1997.
