Version 2. This 45 minute, interactive package is a basic introduction to counter terrorism, including guidance on the simple steps
to take to mitigate the threat, how to spot suspicious activity, what to do if you have concerns and how to react in the event of an
incident. Version 2, with updates to keep abreast of the threat, is now live.

ACT Awareness e-Learning was developed in collaboration with Highfield eLearning, and business resilience experts at retail
giant Marks and Spencer. It is free for anyone to use, and can be done on a laptop or tablet. The course can be completed in
short bursts or all at once. Feedback from a survey of 20,000 users gave the course a 96% ‘would recommend’ rating. In total over
400,000 individuals have taken part since the initial launch in April 2018.

Also, in March and shortly before COVID-19 came to dominate our lives, we launched the ACT App, giving businesses quick access
to a library of sector-specific products to help them keep their staff, customers and estates safe. We now have over 1,600 company
subscribers, representing over 4000 individuals, who receive live-time updates from us about key developments and incidents
relating to CT. Subscription is free but at present, unlike e-Learning which is available to the public, is restricted to company
registrations only.

Feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive and many asked if we could expand our remit temporarily to share more
general business-related coronavirus messages from policing, government agencies and industry bodies.

In the future, we will be launching an Information Sharing Platform that will enable a better two-way flow of information between
CT Policing and our partners in business. Again this will operate 24/7, so that we will always be available to respond to your needs,
whether on site, on the move or at your kitchen table.

Please take time to learn more about what we can do to help you play an important part in keeping everyone safe. Please
encourage your staff – whatever their role – to take the e-Learning course, and for those whose responsibilities include security
and resilience, download our app.
