We are also in regular contact with West Midlands Police, Project Servator and our local Counter Terrorism Security Advisor as well as other security specialists in order to keep our systems and procedures up to date.
If you see anything suspicious or that doesn’t seem right at any of our venues, please speak to a member of staff. See it, say it, sorted.
