WINNS would like to take this opportunity to remind our staff and clients that there is a FREE Counter Terrorism app that can viewed on all mobile devices as well as PC’s. The App can also be used for training, development, guidance and reporting. You may well be familiar with the app, however, it should be noted, that it has recently been upgraded to make it available in over 50 languages and the ‘look and feel’ has been improved to make it a more meaningful and more accessible tool.
The Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) app will allow you, your staff, your clients and your families to have the latest counter-terrorism information at their fingertips. It’s easy to use and completely free.
The ACT app features:
- incident reporting (through an online form)
- recommendations on how to plan your response to terrorist incidents
- first aid guidance
- counter-terrorism training and videos
- news bulletins about recent and current incidents
- feeds from the official social media channels of relevant organisations
- current threat and response levels
- links to organisations such as MI5, NaCTSO, and the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI).
To get started:
(1) download the app for free from Google Play or the Apple App store
(2) email the SIA at actapp@sia.gov.uk for your app login details
Hopefully we will never have to use the knowledge gained from this app.
