General security advice

If you think you see any suspicious activity please report it to the police using official channels.

Please continue to take sensible precautions including making sure that your government security pass is not visible at all whilst in public but that it is available to security teams on entry to any government building, remaining clearly visible whilst on site. As always, challenge anyone that doesn’t appear to have a pass, and be prepared to be challenged if not wearing yours.
