Security awareness increases
Following the horrific attack on Monday night at the Manchester Arena, the UK’s terrorism threat level was raised to its highest, CRITICAL. Meaning an attack is imminent. Although it has now been reduced to SEVERE, this still means an attack is highly likely.
Police and Armed Forces are patrolling city centres and event venues, and everyone is being warned to be vigilant.
Many companies have been reviewing their security requirements over the last few days, updating risk assessments and increasing numbers to give staff and customers extra reassurance.
