Simple terms explainer: 

Councils must set up a Safety Advisory Group (SAG) to help make sure that sports grounds and certain spectator stands are safe for the public. This group brings together experts — like the police, fire service, ambulance service, and building control — to give advice on safety measures, such as crowd management, emergency planning, and safe building use.
