🔔 Help Keep the UK Event Season Safe – Support the 2025 Vigilance Campaign

As summer approaches, thousands of vibrant public gatherings—Pride parades, music festivals, sporting events, and bank holiday celebrations—will bring communities together across the UK. But with large crowds comes a heightened need for vigilance.

Counter Terrorism Policing is working closely with event professionals, venues, and businesses nationwide to raise public awareness and bolster event safety. At SafetyDocs.org, we’re encouraging all organisers and stakeholders to join this vital effort by sharing key safety messages throughout the season.

🛡️ Be Part of the Solution
You can use the official summer vigilance campaign toolkit—hosted on ProtectUK—to promote situational awareness and protective messaging across your digital and on-site channels. Whether you’re managing a sports fan zone, hosting a live concert, or planning a Pride march, the free materials include:

  • Social media graphics and messages

  • Large screen display content

  • Email signature banners

  • Event-specific visuals (including new rugby-focused assets for 2025)

  • Audio spots promoting the “If You See Something, Say Something” initiative

📣 Why It Matters
Embedding security messaging into your event communications strategy is a no-cost yet powerful deterrent. These proactive messages can serve as an additional layer of protection by empowering your staff and attendees to act decisively if something feels off.

🎶 Linked to the #BeSafeBeSound Campaign
Now in its sixth year, the #BeSafeBeSound campaign continues to drive awareness across the live music scene—supported by iconic venues like Glastonbury, BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend, Creamfields, and the O2. All materials from this campaign are also available in the toolkit.

Together, let’s make safety part of the experience—not just a requirement. By taking part, you’re not only supporting national counter-terror efforts, but also aligning with Martyn’s Law’s principles of preparedness and public protection.

If you need help incorporating campaign assets into your own event safety documentation or digital platforms, the SafetyDocs team is here to support you.
