NaCTSO consults on Competent Persons scheme

To support the design process of its Competent Persons Scheme, the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) is asking the views of stakeholders in the security industry.

The Competent Persons Scheme is part of the Government Publicly Accessible Locations Programme, and will form a dedicated internal unit within NaCTSO. It aims to provide the business community with a national standard of knowledge and ability to support the mitigation of risks posed by terrorist threats, and the fulfilment of their duties under the new Protect Duty - whether this be using internal or external skillsets.
