  1. Increase in UK National Threat Level

To note the following information received from Cheshire West & Chester Council:

As some may be aware, following recent incidents across the UK, the National Threat Level has been increased from SUBSTANTIAL, meaning an attack is likely, to SEVERE meaning an attack is highly likely. While there is currently no intelligence to suggest any threat or risk to West Cheshire, this is a reminder to those organising events to be vigilant and ensure all staff and volunteers know what to do if they see suspicious activity or in the event of an incident. We would ask that you firstly visit Protect UK to Review your protective security plans in response to the increase in the national threat level | ProtectUK and take some time to familiarise yourself with the information and guidance presented.
