The UK Intelligence Agencies, MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, work together to keep the country safe. Their highly trained staff use cutting edge techniques to uncover and stop plans to harm our people, buildings and computer systems, both in the UK and around the world.

Whilst all three Agencies have the same mission, each Agency has a different set of tools they can use and each one focuses on a slightly different area. MI5 stops threats from inside the UK, MI6 protects our people overseas and GCHQ looks after our Cyber security. It’s incredibly important work, although most people will never know what they do.

Join us for a Real World Lecture on 5th March to celebrate International Women's Day. This makes a great addition to your CV and will enhance your understanding of legal protections for women, a crucial topic in Law, Policing and Criminology.

Join us as we celebrate International Women’s Day by exploring whether women’s rights are fully protected by the law. The #MeToo and ‘time’s up’ movements have highlighted the issues that most women face on a daily basis and have started to shift attitudes but violence against women is a major problem world-wide and more needs to be done. In this real world lecture we will discuss some of the evidence regarding domestic abuse and violence against women and girls, outline what the police have established works to protect them and discuss how women and girls can expect to be safeguarded moving forward.
