The UK Government has been working with relevant departments and external organisations to ensure lessons are learned from the disorder on 11 July. This includes working with partners - including sports grounds (and their safety management teams), who are ultimately responsible for safety within the grounds, the Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA), the Football Association and the police, who are responsible for safety outside of sports grounds - to ensure action is taken based on the findings of the review conducted by Baroness Casey of Blackstock.
