Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) training
Officers and security experts working with the national Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) campaign have created a free online training to raise awareness of terrorist threats and what can be done.
ACT Awareness e-Learning is a counter-terrorism awareness product designed for all UK-based companies, organisations and members of the public.
The course is free to use and takes just 45 minutes in total to complete. It can be divided into short sections:
- introduction to terrorism
- identifying security vulnerabilities
- how to identify and respond to suspicious behaviour
- how to identify and deal with a suspicious item
- what to do in the event of a bomb threat
- how to respond to a firearms or weapons attack
- summary and supporting materials
The online format has already proved popular with shopping, entertainment and sports venues.
