SAFE by CST

The threat of terrorism is all too real in today’s world. SAFE takes CST’s many years of experience protecting British Jews, and puts it to the benefit of all other British faith and minority communities. Everyone has the right to lead their lives in safety and security. CST can trace its history back 75 years, to when Jewish ex-servicemen formed a group to protect the UK Jewish community from racist attacks. It is recognised by the government and police forces as a model of best practice in securing places of worship. Hate crime is on the rise, everywhere. Places of worship and minority groups have been targeted by violent extremists around the world. Prompt action by UK police forces has thwarted multiple terror attacks that were motivated by racism. SAFE raises awareness of these threats. Over the past 75 years, CST has built a substantial body of knowledge. SAFE public talks, webinars and training materials, will make this available to all communities that are targeted by violence, extremism or hate crime. UK faith communities can operate in isolation of each other. We believe that, through building cross-communal relationships, each individual community is strengthened. We are sharing our knowledge because it is the right thing to do. SAFE shares CST’s security knowledge with groups outside the Jewish community that are vulnerable to violence, extremism or hate crime.
