SafeCrowds TVRA and VDA Assessments

How can you mitigate a risk if you don’t fully understand it?

At SAFECROWDS, we understand the importance of working collaboratively with you to understand the specific threat, vulnerability and risk that could affect the safety and security of your event, venue, or location. That’s why our risk assessment services are designed to be:

  • Specialist counter terrorism risk assessment services
  • Tailored to your specific location and/or event
  • A thorough assessment of physical and operational criteria

Qualified and experienced CT risk assessment expertise

Anyone can carry out a general risk assessment and there are free templates available on the Protect UK website to help smaller events and venues complete their own risk assessment in house. But if you are responsible for a potentially high risk event or location, a more in-depth approach from an experienced and certified professional is advisable.
