See, Check and Notify (SCaN) - DfE Guidance:
SEE - be vigilant for suspicious activity.
Suspicious activity occurs when you recognise actions that may indicate pre-operational planning associated with dishonest activity resulting in terrorism or crime. Suspicious activity occurs when you recognise actions that may include:
- someone trying to remain hidden or out of view.
- someone covertly or overtly taking photographs of security measures, such as CCTV, access controls, entrances and exits, or staff.
- a bag being left in a normally crowded area, or by an entrance/exit.
- someone attempting to gain entry to restricted areas.
- someone loitering in restricted or non-public areas.
- someone asking unusual questions.
A vehicle could also seem suspicious if:
- it is positioned in an unusual way (mounting a curb close to the entrance/exit or
- the side of a building).
- appears abandoned.
- contains passengers who are observing the setting and are not known to staff and do not appear to be dropping off or collecting anyone.
- contain items like petrol cans, flammable liquids or knives or weapons.
- be driving a number of times along the same route around the site.
- have window tints that restrict your ability to see inside the vehicle and its occupants.
Seeing a vehicle behaving suspiciously should prompt staff to consider if there have been any other suspicious activity around the site.
CHECK - Use the ‘power of hello’.
The ‘power of hello’ is about approaching a person (if safe to do so), whose activity could be considered suspicious; this can disrupt potential criminal activity. It shows the individual that you have noticed them and are aware (vigilant) of activity being conducted in and around your setting.
NOTIFY - reporting suspicious activity.
If a person or vehicle is on site and you are suspicious about their intentions or activity, then you may need an immediate police response (dial 999 for the police).
It is beneficial for the person to be on site when the police are called. If the person has left the scene and the route, they took is unknown, or a significant period of time has elapsed since the incident, you should:
- contact the Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789321 or
- report the incident online or
- call 101
You can also report suspicious activity online, in confidence to the Action Counter Terrorism (ACT) website. Alternatively, the ProtectUK app brings together many different ways of reporting incidents.
