The University of Kent takes the safety of our students, staff and visitors very seriously. Following the ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) Strategic and Operational training sessions with front line managers, supervisors and senior staff, the University has been provided with an ACT e-learning module that is now available for staff to complete. Devised by counter terrorism officers and security experts, the ACT Awareness eLearning package provides nationally recognised guidance on how to spot the signs of suspicious behaviour and understand what to do in the event of a major incident. This guidance is not only useful while you are on campus, but is also relevant when going about your daily lives. It has been proven to save lives both in domestic (e.g. the London Bridge attack) and overseas (e.g. Tunisia beach attack) terror incidents.
The module should take around 45 minutes to complete. It is broken down into a number of sections that you can return to and resume if you can’t complete in the whole module one sitting.
The training module refers to the ACT URIM app, which is available to download on your mobile device from the Google Play or Apple app stores. Click or tap on the suitable link to download the app and follow the log in details below.
