Christmas parties have been in the news a lot recently with articles on how to survive the company Christmas party, and various stories on the radio and internet about parties being cancelled due to the fear that businesses have
of being sued. Only this week saw news coverage of a story amid allegations of inproper behavoiur at a uk premiership players Christmas party.

managers) are becoming an excuse not to have a party.
As a party organiser Im all for ensuring that an event is safe and fun for everyone but to risk assess the mince pies and Christmas decorations, as has been suggested, I think its going a bit to far! So what can you do to help make the Christmas party a safer place?
The first step is to set a Party Policy which will outline the dos and donts for any of the attendees. The truth is that the party can be seen as an extension of the working day, and it should therefore be treated as such. It could be as easy as sending an invite with the rules of conduct printed on the back, to include ehavioural guidelines so that everyone knows what

is acceptable and what isnt.
Although we have talked about the dangers of mince pies and streamers, as with any event or business activity it is important to identify the
potential risks. You should collect together the risk assessments and method statements from the venue, and any other supplier, and if you are looking to hold the event in a temporary marquee, then you should consult with a specialist in this area.
Another area of concern is the provision of alcohol. As the organiser, you should provide soft drinks as well as alcohol, and you should be aware that you could be responsible for any actions or accidents that take place as a
result of you providing the drinks. I would never recommend a free bar (Ive seen this go wrong too many times) and you should take the esponsibility of telling people to take it easy if they look like they have had enough.
One area that should be discouraged is the infamous Christmas party fling - this could lead to embarrassment and put a strain on work relationships when everyone gets back to work. Employers should make sure all employees are
informed of the companys view on workplace relationships and reminded ahead
of the party.
If you are working with a company on their Christmas party you can help them by working with them to ensure the event is safe and enjoyed by all. You can also help to protect yourself by thinking about the areas that could go wrong and working with the venue and other suppliers to ensure that everything is covered.
Have a great Christmas and an excellent New Year (now thats a whole other story...)
