Mosque Security Awareness Training

Mosque Security Awareness Training – Community Safety First

As part of our security work with Mosques and Islamic Institutions we have developed a Mosque Security Awareness Training programme to help prepare leadership, staff and volunteers, plan and respond to a potential incident.

Through this training service, we aim to help provide Mosques and
institutions with developing the awareness of what security support is needed, when & where.

Particular focus around Eid, Ramadan, Tarahwee, Jummah & Madrassah times.

We have delivered this training across the UK to over 40 cities.

Duration and Delivery:

2 – 4 hours depending on scale and complexity of the facilities and governance infrastructure.

Target Audience

Leadership, Staff and Volunteers

Outcomes

A general awareness of security need in the institution.

A general review of facilities with a description of requirements

Provide a Mosque security and safety workshop to Mosques managements / volunteers across the UK working with our partners and stakeholders in different regions.

Organise security and safety audit / inspection visits to each Mosque / Madrassah / Islamic centre where will be running a workshop in.

Producing detailed feedback reports on potential security risks areas of improvement to consider (support included to implement these improvement measures).

Sign posting to local and national contacts that support and improved security measure and spread counter narratives to hate on our networks.

Identifying the Mosque’s assets is also a critical part in this overall assessment. People assets include more than just the employees. They also include visitors, the surrounding community and others associated with the institution. Property assets range from building, utilities, equipment and systems. Informational assets are computer systems, processes and confidential Mosque and employee information.

The various assessments we will provide are designed to help you identify the risks and target vulnerable assets in each category.

Below is a breakdown of the headings we will assess at your Mosque, helping put a plan in place:

Personal Support ONGOING SUPPORT Community-Focused

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.

Clear Guidance with Continued Assistance

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.
