Counter Terrorism SIG

The Security Institute has announced that Andrew Donaldson
MSyI and Steven McGrath MSyI will Co-Chair the Counter
Terrorism Special Interest Group (CT SIG), with Jonathan
Schulten FSyI (Rtd) as the sponsoring Director.

Both Steven and Andrew have extensive experience within
Special Interest Groups
Counter Terrorism and are thought leaders within the field.
As the new Co-Chairs of the CT SIG they will drive forward the
group’s aim of sharing information and best practice in the field of Counter Terrorism for
the benefit of all Security Institute members as well as the wider community.

Under their leadership, the CT SIG will collaborate closely with Government specialists
that are leading the nation’s Counter Terrorism efforts. The CT SIG is well placed
to support the Security Institute’s contribution and response to the ‘Protect Duty’
consultation, by directly engaging with a broad range of stakeholders and encouraging
responses to the consultation questions. This will help ensure that security professionals
within the sector can be involved in the process and resolve any potential concerns
before new protective security legislation is passed.

Andrew and Steven be sharing their plans for the CT SIG and the Institute’s Protect Duty
consultation contributions during the AGM.

Inclusive Security SIG

Launching in Summer 2020, the Inclusive Security SIG
(ISSIG) has spearheaded the Institute’s efforts to champion
inclusivity within the sector and has helped ensure it has
remained a high priority for the wider security community.

Under the leadership of Co-Chairs Anna-Liisa Tampuu ASyI
and Lisa Reilly, the ISSIG has established a core group of
passionate security professionals that are helping drive
forward key initiatives and projects.

During the AGM Anna-Liisa and Lisa will be discussing the
successes of the past year including several webinar events
such as the International Women’s Day event, as well as the
#OurSecurity Campaign. The ‘#OurSecurity’ campaign has
been running on the Institute’s social media channels, helping
raise awareness of their work and objectives to both the
Institute membership as well as the wider security sector.

Anna-Liisa and Lisa will also be discussing the group’s plans
going forward, and how members can get involved.
