COURSE STRUCTURE
OWNERSHIP & ENGAGEMENT
Terrorism Awareness and Management is not something that can usually be out-sourced to a single team or department. The course seeks to discover, encourage and nurture the most effective management attitudes, approaches and capabilities that can assist counter-terrorism and security planning, without significantly disrupting the core business operations and strategies.
COMMUNICATION & INFORMATION EXCHANGE
The ability to gather information, create a structured understanding of the situation, and to share information across your networks (both internal and external), is one of the critical issues that effective preparation can significantly impact on.
EXECUTIVE TRAINING / EXERCISING / VALIDATION: A STRUCTURED PROCESS
Executive capability development is not something that happens overnight or without much prior planning and practice. It is usually the result of a well structured training and exercising programme and omnipotent, solid (yet) agile management and co-ordination across an entire organisation. Training and exercising is often not so much about teaching people to do something new, but more about providing attendees with a framework or plan which prompts them to make the correct decisions at the necessary time; usually under the greatest stress that they will ever face.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course leads with five sections covering:
- Contemporary nature of terrorism – roots of terrorism; international terrorism and its evolution; case studies and typologies of method and motivation; People, Targets and Magnets; Laws, definitions and categorisation. Protect UK, Duty of Care legislation and ‘Martyn’s Law’.

Crisis Management and Business Continuity
Mishandling a crisis, incident response, or failing to prepare for an emergency, can permanently shut-down or bankrupt an organisation and/or lead to serious and highly-visible sanctions against company leaders.
Many organisational crises in business and public sector institutions begin with a series of small trigger incidents, which – taken together – can come to overwhelm an organization, sector, or nation, before senior-decision-makers are able to organise a response that can mitigate hazards and threats.
