Dealing with the aftermath of a Terror Raid Since 2001, following the terrorist events of 9/11 in the USA and 7/7 in the UK, the British Government has brought in the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 and the Terrorism Act 2006, which collectively, with the Terrorism Act 2000, have given extensive powers to the law enforcement agencies in dealing with the threat of terrorism. This unique 1 day training programme and guide has been developed with the sole purpose of enhancing community cohesion and fostering great inter and intra agency engagement during, and after a terror raid. The training and the guide is

intended to be a practical source of guidance for the statutory sectors as well as the Muslim community that may experience a terror raid. The programme concentrates on the practical consequences of such action and how members of the Muslim communities need to deal with these actions and how the statuary bodies can develop strategic contingency to handle any aftermath. The programme has been developed by consultants who were instrumental in addressing key issues during raids in High Wycombe Bucks, following the terror warnings on Heathrow Airport August 2006 and subsequent raids in London and West Midlands.
