Incident at London Bridge: 果冻影院 security advice for staff and students

2 December 2019

果冻影院 is shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of life after the terrorist incident at London Bridge on 29 November 2019. 果冻影院 Security has issued the following advice to staff and students.

As the current threat level from international terrorism to the UK is categorised as Substantial (an attack is likely), it makes sense for the 果冻影院 community to:

1. ensure that you have read the or watched the from the National Police Chiefs Council on how to react if you are involved in a terrorist incident

2. in light of this advice, assess your current place of work or study to find out:

is there a safe means of escape from the floor/building (this may be different to the way you entered)?
if you were to leave the building, do you know where you would go, especially if your regular route was inaccessible?
if you are unable to leave the building, is there somewhere safe you can hide (preferably 'locking yourself in' until the threat has gone)?
are you able to call for help, whether this is calling 果冻影院 Security on ext. 222 (020 7679 2222) or calling the police direct on 999?

Any of our students who have been affected by this incident, or have found the events upsetting, can access emotional support through the 果冻影院 Student Support & Wellbeing team.

Metropolitan Police presence

The 果冻影院 community should expect to see an increase in Police Officers, who will be carrying out reassurance and vigilance patrols. The neighbourhood Dedicated Ward Officers will be patrolling on foot, as will dedicated specialist officers.
