This includes the Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) e-learning and See, Check and Notify (SCaN) training.The ACT awareness e-learning course provides free, specialised training for front line security operatives. This custom-built training provides up-to-date counter-terrorism knowledge to help business owners and operators prepare for and respond to terrorist incidents whilst on duty. See, Check and Notify (SCaN) training helps businesses and organisations maximise safety and security using their existing resources. SCaN training helps staff to correctly identify suspicious activity and equips them with an understanding of what to do when they encounter it.

What can you do if your premises or event are not within scope?
Smaller premises and events, which will not be subject to the legal requirements, may also wish to consider what they can do to improve security. Often quite simple activities can improve preparedness. There is an extensive programme of high-quality advice and guidance produced by CT Policing and other partners which can support organisations.
