Event: ProtectUK security workshop
The National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) are hosting workshops this month to provide insight into the new ProtectUK platform, including the ProtectUK app and eLearning resources. ProtectUK is a central hub for counter terrorism and security advice, and is available to members of the public as well as charities and other organisations.
The workshops provide an overview of the free tools, how organisations can utilise them, and how they can help enhance the protective security measures in place across the UK. The sessions do not require any prior protective security or counter terrorism training and are for all sizes of organisations.
A session aimed at all voluntary and community sector organisations will take place on Wednesday 24th May from 12:00-13:00 and participants can sign up here.
Following this workshop, organisations are encouraged to:
- Visit ProtectUK and sign up to receive the latest news, guidance and upcoming events. The ProtectUK website and app is an online resource for free training, advice and guidance aimed at organisations and the public.
- Complete the award winning online ACT Awareness E-Learning. This takes 45 minutes and provides a good level of understanding of the current terrorist threat and best practices to help counter terrorism and increase security awareness.
- Download the ProtectUK App which provides potentially life-saving advice and the steps to follow in the event of a terrorist attack. It details what is required to help protect staff, customers, and members of the public, ensuring organisations are adequately prepared for any eventuality.
