Public education on first responder interventions

The Home Office works closely with partners in policing and across Government with the aim of better engaging the public about safety and security, including around first responder interventions. Significant work continues with reference to the introduction of Martyn's Law that includes communicating with operators of venues, and the general public, about protective security and preparedness. Post-Royal assent, campaigns are being developed to reach out to duty holders and the wider public to promote good protective security and preparedness. This includes pointing responsible individuals to the ProtectUK platform which now has over 200,000 registered users. Some other initiatives have been launched over the last few years. These include the launch of Public Access Trauma (PAcT) First Aid Kits, new standards for those measures and associated communications campaigns with the public. This was delivered in partnership with Policing, Department for Health and others. These kits continue to be rolled out across the UK by local authorities and businesses working closely with security experts.
