Conducting yearly risk assessments is a key risk mitigation tool in keeping the venue safe from existing threats. Understanding the types of crowds and demographics entering the venue is important as well. Being prepared in advance places the venue in a position of strength to best meet today’s challenges.

Viewing emerging threats from many angles means seeing the event through a proactive lens. Security leaders are well served when taking advantage of a fresh set of eyes and ears that can objectively look at the threats. Our security consultant can offer a unique perspective with these initiatives.

Following are several questions event security specialists should consider in their risk assessment:

• How close is the nearest medical facility in the event of a mass casualty incident?
• How often does your venue conduct active assailant/shooter drills?
• What is the venue’s crisis communication policy?
• How does messaging work, and what channels will carry communications in the event of a security problem?
• How will the facility determine if the event is an act of terrorism or facilities related?
• What steps has the venue security team taken with respect to crowd control measures, stampedes, etc.?
• Is the venue security team trained in verbal de-escalation skills?

Policies, procedures, and protocols such as active assailant, locked down, insider threat and crisis communication should be reviewed, revised, and updated accordingly. Planning also involves conducting evacuation drills, mass casualty scenarios. Planning and practicing responses to situations are key to ensuring that people, procedures, and processes are aligned to effectively manage, mitigate, or alleviate whatever threatens safety and security at your venue.

BITACHON SECURITY as providers of high-quality security services, it is imperative that we maintain the requisite accreditations. These certifications encompass our status as an authorised contractor by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) for the delivery of security guarding services. Additionally, we collaborate closely with the Community Security Trust (CST) and maintain accreditation with them, enabling us to offer our specialised expertise and guidance in the realm of comprehensive security services within the United Kingdom.

The Community Security Trust (CST) offers comprehensive physical security services, training, and expert guidance to safeguard the well-being of the British Jewish community. CST actively supports individuals affected by antisemitism, diligently monitors instances of antisemitic behavior, and engages with law enforcement, governmental bodies, and media outlets to advocate on behalf of British Jewry regarding matters of antisemitism and security. CST is of the firm belief that combatting antisemitism and terrorism is an essential component in the protection of our broader democratic society against extremism and intolerance. Individuals who have experienced or possess information about antisemitic incidents are encouraged to reach out to CST for professional advice and representation.

We protect the public and places from terrorist attacks by developing close relationships with the public and commercial organisations. We work to protect our communities and infrastructure. Teams of Counter Terrorism Security Advisors work alongside colleagues from other emergency services, local authorities, and businesses to help strengthen security and keep the public safe. This work is particularly important in crowded places such as schools, synagogues, and entertainment venues. We regularly run awareness campaigns to ensure that staff employed in these areas are informed about the threat and remain vigilant to suspicious behaviour.

The Summer Camps Security

Summertime is not normally associated with security concerns, and those who work at and attend summer camps anticipate an enjoyable summer experience. Security planning for summer camps involves not only physical security but also information, communication, and emergency planning.

Day camps that are contained within the confines of a Jewish institution, while being included in the institution's overall security plan, do have their own particular nuances, such as young people being outdoors for extended periods of time, crowded pickup and drop-off times, and other uses of the facility occurring simultaneously with camp activities.

With proper attention to security planning and particularly communication, the camping experience, regardless of the type, should prove safe and enjoyable for all concerned.

In recent years, the UK and other European countries have witnessed a troubling increase in school attacks and critical incidents, underscoring the urgent need for reliable school safety solutions.

Schools must be prepared to respond rapidly, communicate effectively and ensure compliance with established action plans, in any emergency or every-day incident.

Effective communication is essential for the efficient management of any incident.

All staff must know what to do in the event of an incident. They should know who to contact and how to raise an alarm to alert staff and students. It is essential that all staff feel empowered to make decisions and know what action to take where they have a concern.
