Delegated Services Risk Warning: Peaceful Protest

Hello all,

This morning the attached, untaxed vehicle was driven onto an agreement customer's site. The driver was not aggressive but did not wish to leave, until after a couple of hours and the vehicle had been checked out, it was pointed out it was untaxed!

There is potential for this individual to repeat his actions. There is the possibility for you to experience something similar yourselves on other issues, even if not open to vehicles.

The advice we have been able to quickly provide is as follows and flows from the Section 1 services of your customer agreement, namely the support on Warning and Banning we provide:

The site is not public and you can choose, ('get outa my pub') who is welcome or not. This is the 'landlord' right. In the event of non co-operation Section 547 of the Education Act 1996 makes it a criminal offence to commit nuisance or trespass on a school site. Therefore, a failure to leave falls into that category. Reasonable force can be used to eject an individual without police assistance, but subject to risk assessment. If that says a bit iffy, ring 999 and make clear what's happening there and then to try to have a priority response.

In the case of the vehicle, you'd be entitled, having carefully recorded its condition, to have it removed.

DS Risk Warning: UK raises terror threat level to ‘severe’ following Vienna attack

Home Secretary Priti Patel has confirmed the escalation of the UK terror threat level from "substantial" to "severe" following an attack in Vienna that left at least three dead. The change means that an attack on UK soil is now deemed "highly likely". The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre has changed the UK terror threat level from substantial to severe. This is a precautionary measure and is not based on any specific threat. The potential is for UK based 'lone wolfs' to be emboldened to take action themselves which could take place anywhere in the UK. We are asked to continue to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police on 999 or the anti-terrorist hotline: 0800 789 321. If your information does not relate to an imminent threat, you can also contact MI5 . What the threat levels mean: Threat levels are designed to give a broad indication of the likelihood of a terrorist attack. LOW means an attack is highly unlikely MODERATE ...

Please pay close attention to it, regardless that it flows from the attacks on the retail sector. The approach taken can be applied anywhere! The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued a critical warning following a wave of cyber attacks on major UK retailers including M&S, Co-op and Harrods.

A group calling itself DragonForce has contacted the BBC to claim responsibility for recent breaches.
