CT Awareness & ACT Workshop
Practical counter terrorism awareness and incident response training designed for frontline teams, operational staff and organisations responsible for crowded places and public safety.
Course Overview
This one day workshop has been developed to move beyond basic online awareness learning and provide organisations with practical, operationally focused counter terrorism preparedness training designed specifically for real world environments, frontline teams and live operational settings.
While nationally recognised awareness products provide an important foundation, many organisations still struggle to translate that knowledge into practical operational confidence, coordinated team response and realistic incident management within their own venues, workplaces and events. This programme has therefore been designed to bridge the gap between awareness and operational application.
The workshop combines counter terrorism awareness learning with practical discussion, operational exercises, communication scenarios and immersive tabletop incident management designed around the realities of modern crowded places, venues, events and public facing environments.
Delegates will explore the current threat landscape, hostile reconnaissance, suspicious behaviour, dynamic incident response, communication under pressure, lockdown considerations, evacuation and invacuation principles, operational decision making and the importance of proactive protective security culture.
Unlike purely online awareness learning, the programme focuses heavily on practical application, team discussion, realistic operational scenarios and the specific challenges organisations may face during the first moments of an unfolding incident.
The workshop has been specifically designed for group delivery and can be tailored to venues, organisations, operational procedures and sector specific risks. This allows teams to develop shared understanding, operational confidence and practical preparedness together rather than as isolated learners.
Through realistic operational exercises and facilitated discussion, delegates leave with a far greater understanding not only of the threat itself, but how individuals and organisations can respond confidently, proportionately and effectively during real incidents.
