Publish a national preparedness plan for serious public disorder — 30 signatures. Status: open.
Urgently publish a national serious disorder preparedness plan. Set out government funding, contingency support, protection of vulnerable people and heritage, and arrangements for lawful community assistance. Report to Parliament and coordinate with devolved governments.
We seek preventive policy wherever credible risks exist, without assuming riots are inevitable. The plan should explain support for protecting homes, businesses, transport and heritage; assistance for vulnerable people; community liaison; criteria for military assistance if civilian capabilities are insufficient. It should respect devolved powers, operational policing independence and peaceful protest. Volunteers, including veterans, should assist only lawfully, with consent and coordination.
