Counter Terrorism Awareness Training

On 3 November 2020 the UK’s terrorism threat level was upgraded from “substantial” to “severe” meaning that UK security chiefs believe a terrorist attack is highly likely. The level was raised after attacks in Vienna, Nice and Paris.

It is important that everybody remains vigilant and reports any suspicious activity, but as we work in the electrical wholesale sector, it is doubly important that we take note of any “out of the ordinary” purchases/activity.

Follow the link to free training which has been devised by Counter Terrorist officers and security experts. The Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) Awareness eLearning package provides nationally recognised corporate Counter Terrorist guidance to help people better understand, and mitigate against, current terrorist methodology.

The following eLearning Modules are available:
