We are posting this advice as the attack in London today is being treated as a terrorist attack. Contact us on [email protected] if you need further information or advice on what to do for yourself or your business at this time.

You will all be aware of the events at Westminster, in London UK, a short while ago. The Metropolitan Police Service is not advising that people change their plans, lock down buildings, or anything of this kind. Their advice at this time is "We do continue to advise that all our communities and partners remain alert but not alarmed."

RPS Partnership advises that businesses in the Westminster area should be prepared for likely congestion that will potentially last for several days.Other areas such as the city of London and key infrastructure areas are likley to be affected by an increase in security. Leave extra time to get to work or work from home in the next couple of days if you work in the areas which may be affected.

We suggest the following:

  • Remain alert not alarmed
  • Clearly brief your staff
  • Review your plans
  • Consider early holding message for customers/staff until formal messaging arrives (media can help)
  • Report all suspicious sightings asap.

More information may be obtained from the Metropolitan Police Twitter @metpoliceuk. If anyone sees anything suspicious or that causes them concern please call 0800 789 321 ASAP. For any emergency call 999. If anyone has any information with relation to this incident, they are asking you to send it to http://www.ukpoliceimageappeal.co.uk or call 0800 789 321.
