Amendment 27 addresses another critical aspect: public awareness. Terrorism thrives on uncertainty and confusion, and one of the most powerful tools in countering it is an informed and vigilant public. By requiring the Secretary of State or the Security Industry Authority to provide information and launch public awareness campaigns, this amendment would ensure that the public, as well as those managing premises, are better prepared. We have seen time and again how public awareness campaigns can save lives. Whether it is the “Run, hide, tell” campaign or public health messaging during the pandemic, clear and accessible information empowers individuals to respond effectively in emergencies.
