AEV's safeguarding partner since 2026, X2Consult Ltd is a specialist safeguarding and child protection consultancy supporting event venues, organisers, local authorities, and public-facing organisations across the UK and Europe.
X2Consult operates at both strategic and operational levels to ensure safeguarding is embedded, proportionate and effective within complex live environments.
X2Consult delivers end-to-end safeguarding, supporting venues and events from planning through to live delivery and post-event assurance. Services include safeguarding strategy and governance, event-specific safeguarding plans, risk and vulnerability assessments, policy development, staff and contractor training, incident response frameworks, and post-event evaluation.
A core strength of the consultancy is translating statutory safeguarding guidance into practical, operational systems that align seamlessly with security, stewarding, medical provision, and overall event management.
X2Consult offers online accredited safeguarding officers recognised by the accreditation body OCNCredit4Learning.
A key component of X2Consult is the deployment of experienced on-the-day safeguarding officers who integrate directly into event command and operational structures.
These officers provide both overt and covert safeguarding, ensuring an appropriate balance between visibility and discretion.
During live delivery, safeguarding officers manage disclosures and incidents, support staff and volunteers, liaise with statutory agencies where required, and ensure safeguarding concerns are handled lawfully, calmly, and consistently. This approach ensures safeguarding is actively managed rather than simply documented.
X2Consult has worked collaboratively with venue teams to strengthen safeguarding culture, build staff confidence and protect organisational reputation.
As part of the AEV community, X2Consult is committed to raising safeguarding standards across venues and the events sector, supporting members to deliver safe, inclusive and well-governed environments.
