The project aims at tackling cross-border threats to the integrity of sport due to the violence and misbehaviour of individuals and groups, as well as other kinds of intolerance and discrimination. At the same time, it aims to offer tailor-made responses to the emerging challenging and current trends in the field of safety, security, and service in sport. It promotes an integrated approach to safety, security, and service and works together with public authorities and event organisers to improve their capacities. In doing this, it promotes the standards set out by the 2016 Council of Europe Convention on an Integrated Safety, Security and Service Approach at Football Matches and Others Sports Events (Saint-Denis Convention), and the Standing Committee Recommendation (2015)1. The project is divided into three sub-projects:
Sub-project 1: Online questionnaire and annual/season reports to identify trends and emerging challenges at football matches and, where applicable, other sports events with regard to violence, disorder and anti-social behaviour in Europe.
The ProS4+ project will aim, drawing upon the analysis and experiences of its predecessor ProS4 project, at offering tailor-made responses to the emerging challenges and current trends in the area of football safety, security and service and to promote an integrated approach to safety and security, underpinned by a concept of service that makes individuals and groups feel comfortable, appreciated and welcome when attending a football match or other sports event, inside or outside a sports ground.
