Security

Staying safe

We work with the police and the security service to keep everyone in the UK safe from terrorism, but you can help too. This section explains more about what you can do to keep yourself safe.

Always report suspicious activity

While it’s important that we all go about our daily business normally, it’s also sensible to remain alert to danger and to report any suspicious activity you see or hear.

Staying safe when travelling

Increased security measures are in place at all UK airports. Find out about what items you can carry in your hand luggage, and other ways your journey may be affected on the Department for Transport website (new window).
