The National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) has recently launched ACT for Local Authorities, a key component of the Local Approach to Venues and Public Spaces. This initiative is designed to support local government partners in embedding counter terrorism considerations into their routine operations.
As security professionals—particularly those involved in the management of venues and public spaces—we frequently engage with Local Authorities. This initiative aims to equip Local Authorities with access to the most relevant and up-to-date information to help integrate counter terrorism awareness into areas such as Planning & Development, Transport & Highways, Emergency Planning, Community Safety, and Licensing. It is expected to have a direct impact on our work and the organisations we represent.
We are pleased to welcome Detective Sergeant Alex Ward, who led the development of this initiative through her role at NaCTSO, working closely with the Venues and Public Spaces teams. Alex will provide insights into the programme’s objectives and its implications for public safety and security.
For further details, please log on to the community platform and reach out to the CTSIG Chairs.
