Security Awareness, Behavioural Detection & CT Awareness

Training your people to recognise threats before they escalate

Our Training

1705 Consultancy delivers specialist Security Awareness and Behavioural Detection training designed to protect your venue, organisation, and people.

Every course we deliver has one clear purpose: to equip your staff with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to recognise threats early, respond effectively, and reduce risk — before an incident escalates.

Security Awareness FAQs

What's Behavioural Detection training, and how does it differ from general security?

Behavioural Detection teaches staff to recognise subtle patterns (unusual loitering, concealment behaviour, reconnaissance activity) that may indicate threat. It goes beyond checking ID badges and helps you spot genuine security risks before they escalate.

Hostile reconnaissance can target any location — schools, hospitals, entertainment venues, public spaces. If you attract crowds or are in a visible location, this training is relevant and protective, not just for stadiums and arenas.

Prevent Awareness covers recognising signs of radicalisation among staff or visitors and your reporting responsibilities under the Prevent strategy. It’s highly recommended for schools, healthcare, and public spaces.

No. The Act does not require you to buy any particular training, but it does require procedures that work. Martyn’s Law applies to premises and qualifying events where 200 or more people can be present. Standard tier premises (200 to 799) must notify the SIA and have procedures for evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication. Enhanced tier premises and events (800 or more) must also put in place measures to reduce their vulnerability. Our Martyn’s Law Briefing explains what applies to you, and our Readiness Workshop writes your procedures with you. The duties are expected to start no earlier than April 2027.

Insider Threat & Social Engineering training teaches staff to recognise manipulation attempts — phishing emails, impersonation, pressure tactics. It’s critical for anyone with access to systems, data, or sensitive areas, not just security teams.

Yes, all our behavioural detection training is bespoke — we assess your venue type, historical incidents, likely threats, and staff roles, then tailor scenarios and exercises accordingly. A school’s threats differ vastly from a nightclub’s.

We recommend annual refreshers (or every 18 months minimum) as threat landscapes change and staff turnover occurs. We can deliver refreshers as 1–2 hour sessions rather than full courses for efficiency.

We recommend post-training assessments and incident tracking — fewer security breaches, better reporting of suspicious activity, and faster staff response to alerts indicate effectiveness. We can help design these measures.
