Bomb Threat 

In the highly unlikely event that you or a colleague receives a bomb threat, try to remain calm and gather as much information as possible. Most bomb threats are received by phone, but may sometimes be received in person, by email or by letter. Full guidance for how to deal with such a threat under each scenario is contained within the document below. If you are organising an event it is important that you familiarise yourself with this document prior to the event commencement.
