Course Aims
In the last decade the threats to our society have multiplied and evolved in many ways. Terrorist
organisations have transferred their fight from Iraq and Afghanistan to our back garden, Europe –
and we have seen the damage that a small number of determined individuals can do.
This course will start by introducing the role of the lockdown officer then discuss some of the likely
reasons for a lockdown, go over some of the steps you can take to prepare your school for lockdown
as well as what to do in the event of a lockdown taking place.
Who Attends
The course is aimed at teachers, school administrators and support staff. It gives them an overview
of what to expect and how to act in a lockdown situation and is intended to inform and prepare staff
rather than alarm them.
