We work closely with faith leaders, mosque trustees, the police, and local authorities to develop practical resources that support faith institutions in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from incidents. These resources are designed to be accessible, proportionate, and grounded in real-world experience.
We provide personalised support that recognises the unique circumstances of each mosque and community. Our work is carried out with sensitivity, respect, and an understanding of local contexts, ensuring guidance is practical, proportionate, and appropriate.
We work closely with trustees, leaders, and volunteers to support informed decision-making, strengthen confidence, and promote safer, more welcoming environments for worship and community activity.
Our support extends beyond initial advice or training. We provide follow-up guidance, clarification, and signposting to help mosques apply learning effectively and maintain good security practices over time.
This ongoing support helps ensure confidence, consistency, and reassurance for mosque leadership and volunteers.
Our work is rooted in the needs of local communities. We take a respectful, inclusive approach that recognises the role of mosques as open, welcoming spaces. All guidance and support are shaped around community wellbeing, reassurance, and practical outcomes.
This guide is designed for mosque leaders, trustees, staff, and volunteers responsible for managing safety and responding to incidents within places of worship. It introduces the core principles of incident management and walks through each key stage, including preparation and planning, immediate response, coordination and decision-making during an incident, and post-incident actions.
The guidance highlights the importance of clear communication, defined roles and responsibilities, and effective liaison with emergency services. It also includes case studies drawn from real incidents faced by faith institutions, outlining practical lessons learned and good practice to help communities respond calmly, confidently, and lawfully.
