Risk Information: Events risk assessment review

Hello all,

There is no change to the national threat level or any information on local concerns or threats. We are asked to continue to be alert, not alarmed.

It is the term of fairs, etc, run by yourselves, by the PTA/FOS, or in partnership. Can we suggest, however, you review the risk assessment for the event? Proportional points to consider would include:

* reviewing the event alongside your own community and individuals prevent risk assessment

* maybe the potential of a PCSO attending from your Beat team

* vehicle movements before, during and after and gate security to stop unauthorised movement. Car park potential conflict with pedestrians

* asking in advance that folded bags are brought by the 'customers', considering whether other bags might perhaps be checked at your boundary entry point

* keeping that eye out on the run up and during the event outside for anyone paying undue attention to your site and perhaps acting suspiciously

* deploying at least one person, if not more, with the specific brief to 'look out and around' not be involved in the event and clear about intervention action if necessary. At the simplest level this is usually early intervention in misbehaviour!

If you have any questions or concerns do get in touch and we'll do our best to help. The likelihood of an incident occurring is extremely low so have a great time.
