Faith Security Training
Faith Security Training (FST) is a free security awareness course for faith communities, available across England and Wales and provided on behalf of the Home Office by CDS Support.
FST supports faith communities to:
- Gain practical knowledge to protect their congregation and premises.
- Learn how to identify and reduce risks before they become threats.
- Access expert-led training, developed with input from faith and security specialists.
FST is aimed at faith leaders, trustees, facilities managers, volunteers, and anyone with responsibility for security at a place of worship. The training is also suitable for any member of a congregation with an interest in improving security at places of worship.
The training is available through:
- Face-to-face or virtual classroom sessions, with direct access to security experts.
- E-learning modules, available soon via ProtectUK, for flexible learning.
The scheme is intended as an additional, fully optional resource that participants may draw on if helpful. It is designed to complement any existing security training that individuals or organisations have already undertaken and to support all faith communities in achieving a foundational level of security knowledge and principles.
