ACT (Action Counter Terrorism) Training is a UK government initiative that helps businesses and individuals identify and respond to potential terrorist threats. It teaches staff to spot suspicious behaviour, understand threats, and take action in an emergency.
Â
Why Should Businesses Do ACT Training?
- Enhanced Security – Protects employees, customers, and premises.
- Legal & Ethical Duty – Ensures compliance with health and safety laws.
- Emergency Preparedness – Improves response times in crisis situations.
- Increased Awareness – Helps staff recognise and report suspicious activity.
- Business Continuity – Minimises disruption during security incidents.
Legal Considerations
While ACT training isn’t mandatory, businesses have legal responsibilities under:
- Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – Requires employers to ensure workplace safety, including security threats.
- Protect Duty (Martyn’s Law) – Upcoming legislation expected to mandate counter-terrorism risk assessments and staff training.
- Industry Regulations – Certain sectors (hospitality, transport, events) must meet security obligations tied to licensing.
