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.

Delegated Services Risk Warning: Weather; Wind - Storm Darragh

The Met Office have upgraded the warning for tomorrow as follows: Red weather warning issued Strong and damaging winds across parts of Wales and southwest England Saturday 0300 – 1100 Our advice changes in such circumstances to, do all you can today, but any checking approach during the day tomorrow should only be considered in extremis in the red zone and very carefully indeed risk assessed. Beware too the boundaries are changing of the zones, as more data comes in. Checks may need to wait until Sunday. NB: Many are postponing anything planned for tomorrow to allow safety at home in the red zone and extreme caution in the amber. This needs to apply to your sites. We aren't aware from our systems, at present, of any education visit/DofE activities, but obviously these need to be reconsidered. Met Office Chief Forecaster, Jason Kelly, said: “The worst impacts from Storm Darragh will be felt as we go through the early hours of tomorrow morning and throughout Satur...

DS Risk Warning: 28 March: Extinction Rebellion Demonstration ‘Sound the Alarms’ 10 - 4 pm

Hello all, Avon and Somerset Police have informed us of an ‘organised civil disobedience’ event that may take place today, Thursday 28th March, whereby members of Extinction Rebellion and possibly sympathisers are proposing to set off multiple [fire] alarms. There is no known information on which buildings/when but the assumption is that they will target schools, institutions and public buildings. The Bristol Director Education and Skills has shared this scant information with Bristol schools and nothing more. We haven't heard that it has been distributed more widely so we do so just in case to our Agreement/SLA customers. Fire doesn't give notice of where and when it will occur so our best advice, unless you have a delay on the system that allows checking the status of the issue before the alarm sounders go live, is to take any activation seriously and evacuate. If it turns out to be a hoax, false activation, etc, why not log it as an alternative to your t...

Delegated Services Risk Warning: Weather; Snow and Ice

Hello all, I'd set the alarm early, then a picture fell off the wall, even earlier and ..... The forecast suggests there will be some more snow of varying intensity this morning, before it dies out around lunchtime and will become far brighter. It appears the motorways and major trunk roads, (Highways England) and majority of the local council gritted routes are open, albeit that in some locations there are lane restrictions. Elevation impacts on depth of snow and impact on the roads. The position on non cleared routes will vary markedly. Gritting and ploughing is ongoing and extra resources have been deployed. Public transport is running save for Bristol Airport at the moment. It is under review as the position for drivers getting in to the depots is a challenge. First Bus across the patch will issue an update at 6.30 am. However, Metro Bus is running in Bristol and routes along the main gritted routes are running. At present, therefore, I can't be of more...
