Our Counter Terrorism Courses
Prepare your team to face the evolving terror threat with confidence through SAFECROWDS’ comprehensive counter terrorism courses. Designed to strengthen resilience and boost preparedness, our training equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to protect both your people and your premises.
As Martyn’s Law (Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill) moves through Parliament, it’s set to place mandatory responsibilities on venues and events with a capacity of 200 or more people to assess risks and take proactive steps to safeguard against terror threats.
The legislation divides venues into two categories:
Standard Duty (200-799 capacity):
- Mandatory staff training
- Completion of a risk assessment
Enhanced Duty (800+ capacity):
- Appoint a designated senior officer
- Complete and regularly update a risk assessment
- Maintain an ongoing security plan
- Implement ‘reasonably practicable’ counter terrorism measures
At SAFECROWDS, we leverage our in-house expertise to help you meet these new obligations with tailor-made counter terrorism awareness and training solutions. Our courses cover everything from understanding current threat levels and building resilience to improving situational awareness, recognising suspicious behaviour, and responding to threats effectively.
Training your staff to prepare for a potential attack not only reduces the impact but ensures they are equipped to act quickly and confidently, knowing there’s a plan in place – steps that can save lives.
We also offer desktop training sessions and practical exercises to test your organisation’s counter terrorism strategies. These sessions help identify any gaps in your plan and ensure all key personnel are fully prepared to take decisive action in the event of a real incident.
Stay ahead of your obligations and keep your people safe with SAFECROWDS’ expert counter terrorism training.
