Protect Duty is a proposed public space legislation which will set out standards to protect patrons and the general public from terrorist attacks when in crowded spaces. This could include settings such as pubs, shopping centres, music venues, parks, places of worship and any other place where gatherings of people occur. 

Lorraine Hellend, Business Development Manager at Westminster Group will be speaking about the implications of Protect Duty at the upcoming “Event Production Show” at the Excel Exhibition centre in London.

Lorraine has worked in the security sector for over 30 years, her experience comprises of 15 years working with HM prison service, then Aviation Security, progressing to become an AVSEC trainer, qualified Aviation Security Manager and Cargo manager - undertaking duties in the UK as well as Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Lorraine is now focusing her extensive expertise on the upcoming “Protect Duty” where aviation style security is set to be implemented as a legal requirement for Public Accessible Locations (PAL’s)

Westminster Group has been working to produce a range of advice and solutions for businesses and institutions of all sizes, so when Protect Duty is made into Law (possibly summer 2022) they can become compliant and prepare for the upcoming changes.
