About this Event

Description:

This Advanced Certificate in the Protection of Cultural Venues (CPD Certified) programme has been developed for those individuals within the cultural and heritage sectors who have responsibilities for the security protection of cultural venues and the assets within.

The programme examines the different threats that can impact cultural and heritage venues with a focus on the adversarial threats, alongside how they manifest themselves into criminal acts.

The programme will explore proactive steps that can be taken to protect and reduce the risks being faced by organisational assets providing delegates with the knowledge and tools needed to undertake risk assessments at their venues.

The overall objective of the programme is to help delegates play a proactive part in the protection of organisational assets, now and for future generations.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided for both days.



Programme Outline:

This is a 2-day programme that includes traditional learning activities, group discussions, and practical exercises that include operational and risk assessment activities.


<h4>Day 1 (10:00 - 17:00):</h4>

Following the course introduction, participants will learn about the different threats that can directly impact cultural and heritage venues whether they be natural, adversarial, social, or as a result of human error. This will include the use of case study videos and discussions.

This will be followed by an examination of how adversarial attacks manifest themselves using the ‘Attack Cycle’. Each section of this process is discussed alongside case studies showing how attacks against cultural heritage venues have occurred.

The programme examines behavioural analysis and interpretation by the use of situational awareness, identifying characteristics in human behaviour that can be indicative of suspicious or adversarial activities. As a life skill, the programme also highlights how situational awareness is beneficial for personal safety and the protection of organisational assets in cultural venues.

Hostile surveillance used by criminals during the selection and planning stages of an attack is examined and methods used to proactively detect surveillance are discussed. This session examines characteristics of surveillance including methodology, types, and indicators that increase the opportunity of identifying pre-attack surveillance against individuals, venues, or exhibits.


<h4>Day 2 (09:00 - 16:30):</h4>

The second day will concentrate on risk management and assessment activities, starting with theoretical aspects and the processes involved.

The delegates will be provided with tools that can be used and adapted to evaluate threats and assess the risks they pose. Group exercises will be undertaken to help with this assessment process allowing wider considerations to be brought into the equation and understanding the benefits of defined descriptors to reduce subjectivity.

The delegates will then be shown how to consider ‘risk reduction’ methods through the application of a 'security in depth' approach incorporating multiple layers that overarch each other and intertwine to ensure the greatest level of robustness and resilience is created. This will include examining practical operational activities that all cultural and heritage venues can implement to reduce the risks facing the venues. At the end of the session, delegates will understand different protective layers that can be applied in the protection of organisational and personal assets.

The programme will highlight what is meant by a vulnerability and take the delegates through an assessment process. This session will ask delegates to adopt an adversarial mindset and how they would/could attack a venue. Once this process has been adopted they will then be asked to think like a defender to apply security in-depth strategies that were included in the earlier session.


Day 3 (09:00 - 15:00):

Delegates will then undertake a risk assessment exercise where they will identify threats, risks, and vulnerabilities before considering risk reduction methods that can be used to protect assets and exhibits. This will include a group briefing to discuss their findings and questions from peers.

A certification ceremony will take place followed by a class photo for those interested.
