Conference Agenda

This “State of the Nation” panel, offers a vital briefing on the current UK threat landscape and the evolving challenges facing counter terror policing, frontline services, public safety partners, and national resilience.

With threats becoming increasingly complex — spanning terrorism, extremism, hostile state activity, and online radicalisation — this session will explore how Counter Terrorism Policing is adapting its approach to prevention, protection, and preparedness across the UK.

Bringing together key operational and strategic perspectives, the panel will examine:

The latest national assessment of terrorism-related threats and its impact on responders and partners

Emerging trends impacting emergency response and public protection

Strengthening the CTP Network whilst maintaining the essential connection to local partners

Mitigating risks in crowded places, critical infrastructure, and major events

How responders, local authorities, and organisations can enhance their readiness to confront the threats we face

Designed for professionals working across policing, fire, ambulance, local resilience forums, security, and public venues, this session provides an essential opportunity to hear directly from those at the forefront of counter-terrorism efforts — and to understand what threat mitigation looks like in practice today.
