Spectator safety qualifications.
SkillsActive is the Sector Skills Council for Active Leisure, Learning and Well-Being. One of its responsibilities is to produce and maintain, with the aid of employers in the sector, National Occupational Standards (NOS).
These specify the standard of performance an individual must achieve when carrying out a function in the workplace, together with the knowledge, understanding and experience they need to meet that standard consistently. Essentially NOS are benchmarks of good practice.
A steward must have successfully completed a training programme that has been mapped against the relevant NOS, and whose occupational competency has been successfully assessed under those standards, or be undergoing training and assessment towards the meeting of such standards.

All stewards, as defined in SGSA stewarding factsheet 2: Safety, security and non-safety critical roles, must have a Level 2 Certificate in Spectator Safety (or previous equivalent), or be working towards it. This must be completed within 12 months, dating from the start of their first induction training.
The training should also include completion of the Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) Awareness eLearning and Basic Life Support Skills. These are prerequisites for obtaining a Level 2 Spectator Safety qualification.
The Level 2 Award in Understanding Stewarding at Spectator Events (AUSSE) is not considered an acceptable alternative to a Level 2 certificate in Spectator Safety.
This is because the Level 2 AUSSE does not include an assessment of occupational competence and does not cover all of the units in the National Occupational Standard for Spectator Safety.
However, the Level 2 AUSSE provides stewards with the underpinning knowledge for the units of the National Occupational Standards for Spectator Safety which they must have before working unaccompanied.
Therefore, holders of a Level 2 AUSSE may work unaccompanied for a period of up to 12 months provided they have attended four events as a steward (accompanied by a qualified steward) and are in the process of undertaking their full training, assessment of occupational competence and qualification for a Level 2 Certificate in Spectator Safety.
