The long-running Manchester Arena Inquiry resumes today to hear from bosses of the emergency services and other key figures - live updates here
Assistant Chief Constable says recommendations implemented by BTP have led to real change
Mr O'Callaghan admitted there were no 'nationally accredited courses' to train staff in this role but work was ongoing to introduce this. Another recommendation is that BTP should work with other forces to agree which has 'primacy' at major incidents, and that all staff have adequate training. He said his view was that the other police force would take the lead although this had not been formalised in any policy document.
He said SMG ran forums and webinars as well as running a seminar in Manchester about what the security industry could learn from the Arena attack. Asked how SMG could be sure of this, the witness said a minimum number of staff is stipulated in its agreement with Medicare and this was checked with SMG's consultant and NWAS to ensure staff numbers were adequate.
SMG, he said, had also welcomed 'Martyn's Law', a draft bill expected to make its way through Parliament to require venues to prepare for terror attacks.Mr Simpson is asked about a new digital incident management system the company had introduced called Halo. He said the firm had actually installed a replacement system called Raven which he said was a 'better fit'.
