SAFE – Home Office Security Survey

Following the horrific terrorist attacks on a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, the then Home Secretary announced a range of projects to strengthen the safety of faith communities, including a new faith security training scheme, and uplifting the funding for the Places of Worship Protective Security Funding Scheme to £3.2 million in 2020/21.

The Home Office understands that there is an important balance to be struck between worshipping openly and without fear and having security measure to protect worshippers. They are launching a research exercise to better support faith institutions to be a safe and welcoming place for worship and are asking for views and opinions on safety, security and counter terrorism within faith institutions.

The link to the survey is https://www.plus4.co.uk/faith-governmentsurvey.

The survey will be closed to responses at the end of February.

Prior knowledge of security is not required but respondents do need to be able to answer on behalf of their faith organisation i.e. be a Faith Leader, Trustee, or other senior decision-maker for the organisation.

BMFF statement regarding the Jewish Community Wedding in Stamford Hill

“Barnet Multi Faith Forum condemn in the strongest possible terms the reprehensible flouting of the law by some individuals  belonging to an Orthodox Jewish sect in Stamford Hill.  In holding a wedding from which lives could be lost and by ignoring the dangers of a highly transmissible strain of Covid 19, this defiles Jewish law of respecting life above all else.”

Esmond Rosen 
President  Barnet Multi Faith Forum
