Pride events this summer

From major events such as Pride in London and Manchester Pride, to regional parades and local celebrations, large crowds gather to mark inclusivity, identity and community in public spaces.

These vibrant, high-footfall events provide an important opportunity to promote vigilance and help keep people safe while they celebrate.

The materials on this page are designed for use at Pride events and in surrounding areas.

We also have materials that feature police officers and summer bunting which may be more suitable.

Video – Pride Flag

Encouraging everyone at Pride events to stay alert and tell security if they see anything that doesn’t feel right.  

Portrait video can be used for Reels and Stories on Instagram and Facebook. For feed posts, platforms like Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn support square, portrait and landscape formats, although portrait video is now often preferred for better mobile engagement.

Recommended website and social media messaging

When planning to go to an event or venue, the public often visit an organisation’s website or social media website. This is the same for hostiles.

We have provided some suggested wording for the security section or pages of your website, or to accompany the materials on your social media channels.

Please feel free to tailor to your organisation or event.

We encourage you to work with your Counter Terrorism Security Advisor (CTSA) on messaging that’s relevant for your event or venue, which can help to add an extra layer of protective security to your organisation and events.

Do summer safely.

We are working with Counter Terrorism Policing to help keep everyone safe this summer. We are supporting their summer campaign, encouraging the public to stay alert and report anything that doesn’t feel right to security.  

We all have a role to play in keeping each other safe. Your safety is our priority and that’s why we have [INSERT SECURITY MEASURES IN PLACE].

You can play your part by trusting your instincts, and if you see something that doesn’t feel right, tell security. Our teams will take every report seriously. You won’t be wasting their time.  

Here are some quick tips to help you have a safe and enjoyable time:

  • Arrive early, allowing more time for security checks and measures
  • Be patient with security checks. It might seem inconvenient, but they are in place to help you.
  • Keep it simple and minimise what you carry. Fewer bags to search will speed up entry.
  • Stay alert and look out for each other. If you see something that doesn’t feel right, tell security. Don’t leave it to someone else.
  • Don’t leave bags unattended. Never agree to look after a stranger’s bag, no matter how genuine they seem.
  • If there is an incident, listen to staff and any announcements.

In an emergency, always call 999.

Have an amazing time, and if you see something that doesn’t feel right, report it to security straight away. Thank you for playing your part.

Gwnewch yr haf yn ddiogel  

Rydyn ni’n gweithio gyda Phlismona Gwrthderfysgaeth i helpu i gadw pawb yn ddiogel yr haf hwn. Rydyn ni’n cefnogi eu hymgyrch haf sy’n annog y cyhoedd i barhau’n wyliadwrus ac i roi gwybod i staff diogelwch am unrhyw beth nad yw’n teimlo’n iawn.   

Mae gan bob un ohonom rôl i’w chwarae er mwyn cadw’n gilydd yn ddiogel. Eich diogelwch chi yw ein blaenoriaeth ni a dyna pam mae gennym [INSERT SECURITY MEASURES IN PLACE]. 

Gallwch chi wneud eich rhan drwy ddilyn eich greddf, ac os gwelwch chi rywbeth nad yw’n teimlo’n iawn, dwedwch wrth staff diogelwch. Bydd ein timau’n cymryd pob adroddiad o ddifrif. Fyddwch chi ddim yn gwastraffu eu hamser. 

Dyma ychydig o gynghorion cyflym i’ch helpu i fwynhau a chadw’n ddiogel: 

  • Cyrhaeddwch yn gynnar, gan ganiatáu rhagor o amser ar gyfer gwiriadau a mesurau diogelwch
  • Byddwch yn amyneddgar gyda gwiriadau diogelwch. Efallai eu bod yn anghyfleus, ond maen nhw yno i’ch cadw chi’n ddiogel.
  • Cadwch bethau’n syml ac ewch â chyn lleied o bethau â phosib gyda chi. Bydd llai o fagiau i’w harchwilio yn cyflymu’ch mynediad.
  • Byddwch yn wyliadwrus a gofalwch am eich gilydd. Os gwelwch chi rywbeth nad yw’n teimlo’n iawn, dwedwch wrth staff diogelwch. Peidiwch â gadael pethau i bobl eraill.
  • Peidiwch â gadael bagiau heb oruchwyliaeth. Peidiwch fyth â chytuno i ofalu am rhywun dieithr, dim ots pa mor gredadwy ydyn nhw.
  • Os bydd digwyddiad, gwrandewch ar aelodau staff ac unrhyw gyhoeddiadau. 

Mewn argyfwng, ffoniwch 999. 

Gobeithio cewch chi amser anhygoel, ac os gwelwch chi rywbeth nad yw’n teimlo’n iawn, riportiwch hynny i staff diogelwch ar unwaith. Diolch yn fawr am wneud eich rhan.

Internal message

Do Summer Safely – we’re supporting Counter Terrorism Policing’s summer campaign.

We’re supporting Counter Terrorism Policing’s Summer campaign. The campaign is encouraging the public to look out for each other, trust their instincts and report anything that doesn’t feel right.

We can support by sharing the need to be alert among people attending events over the summer.

The key advice is:

  • If you see something that doesn’t feel right report it to security or online at gov.uk/ACT. In an emergency dial 999.
  • Trust your instincts, you won’t be wasting our time.
  • Anyone can complete the ACT e-Learning on ProtectUK, this will help you be prepared in the event of a terrorist attack.

Security guidance and ACT e-Learning can also be found on ProtectUK.

Internal communications in Welsh

Cynnwys ydy hwn y gallwch ei ddefnyddio ar eich sianeli ar gyfer cynulleidfa fewnol, er enghraifft, cylchlythyrau staff a’ch mewnrwyd, ochr yn ochr â lluniau o’r pecyn. 

Gwnewch yr haf yn ddiogel – rydym yn cefnogi ymgyrch haf Plismona Gwrthderfysgaeth.

Rydym yn cefnogi ymgyrch haf Plismona Gwrthderfysgaeth. Mae’r ymgyrch yn annog y cyhoedd i ofalu am ei gilydd, i roi ffydd yn eu greddf ac i riportio unrhyw beth nad yw’n teimlo’n iawn.

Gallwn ni gefnogi drwy rannu’r angen i fod yn wyliadwrus ymhlith pobl sy’n mynychu digwyddiadau dros yr haf. Mae’r ymgyrch hon yn cyd-fynd ag ymgyrch #ByddSaffByddDdiogel sy’n cyflwyno’r un negeseuon allweddol ar gyfer gwyliau a digwyddiadau cerddoriaeth.

Y cyngor allweddol ydy:

  • Os gwelwch chi rywbeth nad yw’n teimlo’n iawn rhowch wybod i swyddogion diogelwch neu riportiwch ar-lein yn gov.uk/ACT. Mewn argyfwng, ffoniwch 999.
  • Dilynwch eich greddf, fyddwch chi ddim yn gwastraffu ein hamser.
  • Gall unrhyw un gwblhau e-Ddysgu ACT ar ProtectUK, bydd hyn yn eich helpu i fod yn barod os bydd ymosodiad terfysgol.

Mae modd cael canllawiau diogelwch ac e-Ddysgu ACT hefyd ar lwyfan ProtectUK.
