EMERGENCY PLANNING CONSULTANCY & COMPLIANCE SUPPORT

---

At 1705 Consultancy, we specialise in writing and reviewing professional emergency plans that are fully aligned with legal requirements, operational needs, and your unique environment.  Whether you are an event planner managing a hotel, members’ club, public venue or large-scale event, we create tailored documentation that goes beyond box-ticking — ensuring your plans are clear, compliant, and ready for activation.

Our emergency planning services support compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, and the evolving requirements under Martyn’s Law.  Each plan is designed to address real-world threats with practical procedures for evacuation, lockdown, Invacuation, and communication.  We ensure your teams know their roles, your public spaces are covered, and your response is structured, rehearsed and defensible.

From first-time planning to annual reviews and multi-site documentation, 1705 Consultancy provides expert-led support that protects people, meets legal obligations, and gives you peace of mind.

Emergency planning isn’t just good practice — it’s a legal obligation.  At 1705 Consultancy, we help organisations navigate the complex framework of legislation and guidance that governs public safety.  From licensed venues to temporary event spaces and high-footfall locations, we ensure your plans and procedures meet statutory duties and reflect current legal standards.

Our consultancy is grounded in the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, while also supporting emerging obligations under Martyn’s Law.  For event organisers and event planners, we apply guidance from The Purple Guide to help align your planning with industry expectations and enforcement norms — covering everything from evacuation protocols to crowd dynamics, control roles and accessible safety.

We assess your readiness not just for inspection, but for real-world scrutiny after an incident. Whether you’re hosting a one-off event or managing an ongoing public space, we’ll help you build the legal resilience and operational assurance that regulators, insurers and the public increasingly expect.

At 1705 Consultancy, we help transform static emergency plans into live, operational strategies that work under pressure.  Our strategic response and emergency planning service is designed to bridge the gap between policy and action — ensuring your teams are not only prepared on paper but equipped to lead, respond and recover when an incident unfolds.

We work with you or your event planner to develop clear command structures, real-time decision-making protocols, and tested response procedures for evacuation, lockdown, and communication.  This includes defining Bronze, Silver and Gold-level roles, integrating with emergency services through JESIP principles, and ensuring your team understands how to activate, escalate, and sustain a coordinated response.

From scenario planning and live walkthroughs to control room support and post-incident recovery structures, we help you build operational confidence at every level.  Whether you’re managing a public venue, cultural attraction, city centre space or large-scale event, our planning prepares you to protect life, reduce harm and lead effectively when it matters most.
