what is a “purple score?”
We get a lot of new promoters on here so its worth explaining this terminology (sounds like some kind of risk assesment)..
hi there the purple guide is as you correctly said a form of risk assement that denotes the leval of cover that you “should” have at these events, it is availalbe online to purchase or for a non biased risk assment please feel free to contact myself at
riskassessment@msmedical.co.uk
and i would be delighted to help you from there
take care

Its also covered in the ‘Event organiser’s handbook’ from HMSO
You work the score out based on the kind of activities at the event , the numbers present and geographical location of the venue
[hence eg a very large fireworks display with a rock concert will most likely have to have on site ambulance support while a small acoustic music festival with no ‘boisterous’ crowds may get away with a first aider point only]
There is no real mystery to the scoring system – its an extension of the event risk assessment. If you require more detail guys post to this thread and I will put it up for you.:wink:
I think this is the purple guide ( remember it now as a friend of mine had a copy when she was helping with the Come Together festival in Oxfordshire and its front cover was purple)
it would be worth a thread (perhaps in community forum?) about risk assesment for events – people should think about this even if they are doing private events which don’t need licensing..
Could be – I remember it being blue but I have bad colour vision/memory when I dont look carefully.
I will haul it out and put up a post although for info on doing basic risk assessments check out my post in the subject in this thread:

as I have covered it there.
I will put up the info on scoring for medical attendance in the next few days [please PM me if I have forgotten:groucho:]
