This is a specialist CPD Certified programme aimed at those working within the cultural heritage sector.

Throughout the different modules, the programme lays the foundations for the effective protection of assets including collections, buildings, staff and visitors. By focusing on the concept of Proactive Prevention, it helps participants understand the nature of the different threats that can impact cultural heritage, how they manifest, and sensible actions that can be taken to mitigate, manage or, where possible, prevent possible risk of damage, looting, and destruction of cultural property. Elements of situational awareness and surveillance detection will also be discussed in relation to the threat posed by organised criminals at cultural venues.

This programme has been delivered at a range of cultural venues nationally for members of staff and volunteers. We have also delivered this programme online to ensure we engage with delegates across the UK and internationally from a variety of different locations. Feedback received from this programme has been positive and proves the importance of educating sector professionals on proactive approaches to protecting cultural heritage.
