The module, which was launched in January 2018, has been completed 100,000 times across over 5,000 operators, with the key aim being to raise awareness of risks and processes. The immersive course equips drivers to

• identify the various threats posed by terrorism
• become more aware of vehicle security
• understand the measures they can take to reduce placing themselves or their vehicles at risk of hijack, theft, or physical attack
• reduce the risks of fuel theft
• identify and report suspicious behaviour or activity

The partnership involved in designing this groundbreaking program included Transport for London (TfL); AECOM, contracted by TfL to administer FORS; and Walkgrove, single framework supplier to TfL for the design of freight training. In addition, key design input came from the Metropolitan Police, the Department for Transport, HS2, and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. This collaborative approach was essential in ensuring a high quality, high impact piece of training.

"Tackling terrorism is a responsibility for all of us, and we all have a role to play in keeping the UK safe. HGV and commercial drivers should be vigilant and confident in reporting unusual or suspicious behaviour to the police as soon as possible. By taking part in this training, we hope to equip them with the knowledge to play their part."
