Terrorism

At home

This site is not intended to provide advice on terrorism or terrorist activity. If you are worried about any suspicious activity or package, you should report it to the police immediately.

The Home Office terrorism web page is the main source of up to date Government advice and information on the subject of terrorism. You may also wish to look at the UK Resilience website, which also contains advice on dealing with suspicious packages.

Speak to your local authority and emergency services about the arrangements that are already in place for dealing with civil emergencies in your area.

Abroad

If you are planning an educational visit outside the UK, check the Foreign Office website for travel advice on the region you are travelling to. Situations can change quickly so it would be good practice to check the advice until you depart. It is also important that you read the If it all goes wrong page. This provides advice for UK nationals who are left stranded abroad by a terrorist incident.

For advice on planning educational visits see Planning/Educational visits and Planning/Communicating with parents/Educational visits.
