SGSA Strategic Plan 2020-24 published

Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) logo The SGSA has published its five-year Strategic Plan which aims to improve safety of sports grounds both in the UK and internationally.

The ambitious plan outlines four key areas of priority:

  1. Continuously improve our performance as the safety regulator for football grounds in England and Wales.
  2. Raise the profile and status of sports grounds safety in the UK and internationally.
  3. Become the strategic safety partner of choice for governments, sports governing bodies and organisers of major events.
  4. Improve our efficiency and performance as a non-departmental public body.


Martyn Henderson, Chief Executive of the SGSA, said: “Thanks to the dedication and commitment of all those who work in stadium safety, the UK is one of the safest places in the world to watch live sport. Since its establishment in 2011 the SGSA has taken great strides to improve sports grounds safety in the UK and around the world. Our reach and impact are extraordinary. However, we cannot be complacent. This Strategic Plan outlines how we will work with others in the sector to ensure everyone can enjoy sport safely.”
