A simple process for accepting lost property should be developed prior to your event and communicated to staff at the information centre.

A lost property report should be completed with the following information:

• date and time it was found

• description of the item

• two staff members or volunteers should complete the lost property report with the person who found the item and place it in a secure place on site

• where it was found

• where will it be taken to post event (for example: back to the event organiser’s office)

• who found the property and handed it in (not mandatory if not a staff member or volunteer).
