PREPARATION STARTS WITH AWARENESS

People responsible for security at places of worship, connected schools and community centres cannot prepare for every possible incident. But staff and volunteers can understand vulnerabilities, know existing procedures and be better prepared to respond when something happens.

The PARTESS-COM “Prepare to Protect” poster brings together practical reminders on:

🔹 understanding vulnerabilities
🔹 maintaining awareness
🔹 reviewing existing security measures
🔹 training staff and volunteers

Print it, display it in a community space and use it as a starting point for regular discussions about safety and preparedness.

WHEN DID YOU LAST REVIEW THE SECURITY OF YOUR PLACE OF WORSHIP?

The buildings used by religious communities have different functions and security needs. This includes places of worship, connected schools and community centres.

For those responsible for their security, the PARTESS-COM Premises Security Checklist provides a practical structure for reviewing everyday vulnerabilities together with staff and volunteers.

It covers access points, alarm systems, visible valuables, empty premises and existing security and protection procedures.

The checklist can be printed, shared internally and used directly on site.

▌WHAT CAN BE DONE BEFORE EXPENSIVE SECURITY SYSTEMS ARE CONSIDERED?

Smaller faith communities often face the same security concerns as larger institutions, but with fewer staff and more limited budgets.

Preventive protection therefore needs to be practical, proportionate and adapted to the resources already available.

This edition introduces an approach that begins before major purchases are made. Read the four slides to see which aspects of everyday planning can contribute to safer places of worship.

▌WHAT SHOULD CHANGE IN THE SAFETY PLANNING OF PLACES OF WORSHIP?

More than 200 participants took part in twelve PARTESS-COM capacity-building trainings across Europe between December 2025 and June 2026.

Their experiences identified recurring problems in the protection and preparedness of places of worship that cannot be addressed through technical security measures alone:

🔹 unclear procedures for unfamiliar incidents
🔹 lasting effects of harassment and other low-level incidents
🔹 insufficient consideration of women’s experiences
🔹 limited capacity among smaller places of worship
🔹 incidents that remain undocumented because they are handled internally

Field Note 2 sets out four practical directions: rehearse clear procedures, involve affected congregants in safety planning, direct support towards institutions with fewer resources and improve responses to incidents that do not fit established reporting categories.

▌COMMUNICATION AS PART OF PROTECTION

For places of worship, safety is not only a question of physical measures.

It also depends on how communities communicate before, during and after a crisis.

In this short reel, Oliver, press officer at the Roman Catholic Church in Vienna and representative of a PARTESS-COM project partner, shares a perspective from a crisis communication training in Brussels.

The message is practical: faith communities benefit when they can exchange with security experts, practitioners and police services across Europe.

Watch the reel and follow PARTESS-COM for updates on trainings, resources, events and the upcoming Faith Guardian app.

🛡️ SAFER PLACES START WITH SHARED KNOWLEDGE

Building safer places of worship requires more than isolated action. It requires cooperation, trust, and practical exchange.

That is what PARTESS-COM is about.

The project brings together communities, researchers, practitioners, and other relevant stakeholders across Europe to strengthen prevention and resilience and to support safer, better-informed responses to security risks.

▌DID YOU KNOW?

Many security challenges at places of worship do not begin with a crisis.

They begin with small signs, repeated incidents, missing information or risks that communities handle alone.

These slides show how PARTESS-COM and Faith Guardian support a more practical approach to preparedness, reporting and exchange.

DIGITAL HATE, DISINFORMATION AND COMMUNITY PROTECTION

From 16 to 19 June 2026, Deputy Inspector José Martínez Marín of Murcia Local Police (black shirt) took part in No Hate Speech Week in Strasbourg, held within the framework of the Council of Europe.

His presentation introduced PARTESS-COM in this conference exchange on hate speech, hate crime, discrimination, online radicalisation, disinformation and the protection of vulnerable communities.

Why this matters:

🔹 digital hate can strongly affect (religious) communities
🔹 disinformation can increase distrust and insecurity
🔹 vulnerable groups need practical protection and reliable support
🔹 prevention requires cooperation across institutions and sectors

The event brought together European institutions, universities, law enforcement agencies, equality bodies, civil society organisations, local authorities and practitioners.

This contribution by Murcia Local Police underlined the value of local police services in European prevention work, especially where hate-related incidents, online risks and community safety concerns overlap.

PROTECTING PLACES OF WORSHIP IN ROMANIA THROUGH TRAINING AND EXCHANGE

Thank you to all participants in the PARTESS-COM national training held in Bucharest on 10 June 2026!

What made this event especially valuable was the wide range of participants in the room. Representatives of different Christian denominations, Muslim organisations, public institutions, and project partners came together for exchange on the protection of places of worship and related institutions.

This diversity is not incidental. It is central to effective prevention.

Thank you for your active participation, valuable inputs, and constructive discussion throughout the day.
