Counter Terrorism Policing is encouraging organisations, venues and events to play their part in helping to keep everyone safe this winter. An Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) vigilance campaign toolkit is available on ProtectUK website.
The Security Industry Authority (SIA) has launched the Stay Safe, Tell Security campaign, urging the public and businesses to remain vigilant and report any unusual activity to nearby licensed security operatives or the police.
Security On Your Side is a newly developed Security Minded Communications (SMC) campaign designed to amplify the deterrent effect of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) measures. Designed with the every-day site user in mind, SOYS is a toolkit of communication assets, layered across a range of communication channels, that amplifies the HVM and other security assets that could be in place at your venue.
This provides tailored guidance for educational settings in the UK, enabling settings to utilise various communications channels to deny and deter hostiles from undertaking hostile acts against their school, nursery, college or university.
This aim of this guidance is to introduce the concept of Security-Minded Communications (SMC) and encourage organisations to use communications to help protect themselves, their staff and visitors from hostile acts.
This document supplements the existing Security Minded Communications guidance and highlights the key protective security points to consider when creating virtual tours of your facilities.
This guidance document provides information on the concept of Security-Minded Communications, which should be considered when publishing information for the public.
