Supporting the Government’s ‘Action Counters Terrorism’ campaign, ACT Awareness has been produced by the National Counter Terrorism Security Office to protect cities and communities from the threat of terrorism.
ACT Awareness encourages communities to work together with Police in order to detect and deter terrorist activity. It aims to give everyone the confidence to recognise and report suspicious behaviour and guidance of how to respond to the most likely types of terrorist activities.
ACT Awareness is aimed at all levels of staff but is particularly relevant to those in front of house and security roles.
