Welcome back to all those businesses getting ready to reopen
We are all delighted that you are able to step up preparations for a return of staff, visitors and customers.
As you get closer to restarting, we ask you to please remember all the good work we have done together over recent years to help protect crowded places from terrorism. The UK National Threat Level remains at SUBSTANTIAL, meaning an attack is likely.
We feel confident that terrorist activity in the UK will return to previous norms after restrictions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus are eased.
So when you are making plans for the reopening of your business, we ask that you think about security and build a security review into your ‘to do’ list.
Our 60-second check provides an easy guide to the things that you can think about now as you get ready to return to normal – or ‘the new normal’ as it will undoubtedly be for all of us.
Making arrangements for social distancing and extra hygiene precautions are going to be foremost in your mind, but don’t forget there are always those who look to exploit situations when your attention may be elsewhere. Good counter terrorism measures also have benefits in deterring crime.
