Protect Duty Legislation
Protect Duty legislation is designed to improve the protection of publicly accessible places from terrorist attacks. The legislation is intended to ensure that businesses and organisations are better prepared to deal with – and respond to – serious incidents.
It will apply to all public spaces which are managed and protected by local authorities; therefore, all 333 councils in the UK will be affected and required to have a Protect Plan in place.
As a disaster unfolds, communicating quickly and effectively with those on the ground is absolutely key to cutting down response time and allowing a rapid exchange of accurate information. This is where Peoplesafe Alert comes in.
