Why this matters for healthcare organisations
Protecting people and places is now a core organisational responsibility across all public-facing sectors, including healthcare.
Health settings face unique operational pressures: high footfall, open access environments, complex estates and vulnerable populations. Strengthening protective security capability across teams is essential to building resilience.
This Level 3 Award equips learners to:
Identify vulnerabilities within health sites and facilities
-
Develop counter-terrorism risk assessments and preparedness plans, including evacuation, invacuation and lockdown procedures
-
Understand how relevant legislation, including the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (Martyn’s Law), affects workplaces and roles*
-
Embed a positive security culture across teams
-
Strengthen your suitability for supervisory, management or advisory roles with responsibility for protective security and preparedness planning.
*Training alone will not make an individual or organisation compliant with the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (also referred to as Martyn’s Law). Compliance requires an organisational approach to implementing measures aligned with legislation. This qualification provides knowledge and skills to support that approach.
A collaborative approach

Together, we connect national protective security standards with frontline health and care environments, strengthening capability, confidence and preparedness.
