Trusted websites that can help to keep us all safe

In an increasingly unpredictable world, being prepared and informed can make a vital difference. Whether you’re a business leader, a public sector worker, or simply a concerned citizen, having access to clear, practical advice about safety and security is essential. Two trusted platforms that help individuals and organisations build awareness and preparedness are the ProtectUK and CitizenAID websites.

ProtectUK, created by the UK government and Counter Terrorism Policing, serves as the official source for security and counter-terrorism guidance. It provides comprehensive advice on how to identify and mitigate threats, keep workplaces secure, and comply with evolving legislation like Martyn’s Law. From risk assessments to training modules, ProtectUK empowers businesses and institutions with knowledge and tools to protect their people.

CitizenAID, on the other hand, is designed for the public. It offers simple, life-saving guidance on what to do in the event of a terrorist attack or emergency situation. Its step-by-step instructions help people stay calm and act quickly, potentially saving lives before emergency services arrive. The CitizenAID app and downloadable materials are ideal for schools, offices, and public spaces.

Together, these two platforms strengthen community resilience and encourage a proactive approach to safety. They bridge the gap between professional security advice and everyday awareness, giving everyone the tools to act confidently in an emergency.

By integrating ProtectUK and CitizenAID into your safety planning, you’re not only investing in preparedness, you’re helping to build a safer society for us all.
