Counter Terrorism Security Advisers
Security Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in 2023, states: ‘The primary role of the CTSA (Counter Terrorism Security Advisers) network run by NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office), is to provide help, advice and guidance, on all aspects of counter terrorism protective security to specified industry sectors. NaCTSO and the CTSAs are responsible for the provision of protective security advice to Publicly Accessible Locations (where there may be large crowds who could be vulnerable to terrorist attacks) e.g., shopping centres, sporting stadiums, pubs and bars, transport hubs, etc.’
