RUN HIDE TELL for Youth Organisations

Everyone should increase preparedness and learn how to protect yourself if the need arises.

The National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) guidance can be applied to many places and situations. It sets out three key steps for keeping safe in the event of a gun or knife attack.

If caught up in an incident the advice is:

• RUN to safety
• HIDE if you can’t
• TELL the police when you’re safe 

Guidance

This guidance and an accompanying session plan for youth organisations have been produced for NaCTSO by the PSHE Association to support facilitators to share the guidance safely and confidently.

It forms part of the ACT for Youth campaign to inform 11-16-year-olds how to react to a gun or knife attack.
