What the notice says

The Met Office wishes to investigate a new approach to cyber and physical security awareness training. The new approach aims to provide staff with a solid security awareness induction, regular basic awareness and refresher training on core and emerging topics, and role-specific advanced security awareness for specialist roles such as developers, engineers, privileged users, help desk and executives. The training and awareness programme may incorporate curated learning pathways/courses, regular bitesized training, and ad hoc browsable content. It should offer a range of content styles to suit different learning preferences and accessibility needs.
