Introduction to the Protection of Cultural Venues – CPD Certified

This is a CPD Certified, specialist programme with a duration of 4-6 hours, aimed at those working within the global cultural heritage sector.

Throughout the different modules, the programme lays the foundations for the effective protection of assets, be these collections, buildings, staff and visitors. By focusing on the concept of 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 to cultural venues.

We have delivered this training to a range of cultural venues nationally and have received a wealth of positive feedback. Our delegates have found this programme extremely beneficial to their operations regarding their roles and responsibilities within the cultural sector.
