To encourage a safe and secure environment, when you attend conciliation or a CTTT hearing you may be asked to comply with some security measures.  Information about the types of security procedures at the CTTT is outlined below. 

Security procedures

When on duty, security guards will carry out the following security procedures:

• Carry out bag searches
• Confiscate threatening items
• Operate a walk-through metal detector where available or hand-held metal detector
• Respond to duress alarms, incidents and emergencies
• Sit in hearings as required
• Conduct regular foot patrols within the hearing venue
• Contact the Police if necessary.

Metal detectors

The CTTT uses metal detectors to detect theatening items and confiscate them. 

If you do not wish to walk through a metal detector or be scanned with a held-held wand detector because of a medical implant such as a pacemaker, tell the security officer and show them your medical certificate or other proof.

Do the security procedures cause delays?

To gain entry to the CTTT's hearing venues you will need to comply with the security procedures.  To reduce any delays, you are encouraged to arrive early and think about the items you are bringing with you. 

Do I have to comply?

Yes.  If you are requested by a security guard to submit yourself to a bag search, metal detector scan or any other type of inspection then you must comply.  Otherwise you will not be able to attend the hearing. 

Items that will be confiscated

Security guards will confiscate any item that may be considered a threat to the safety of persons attending the hearing.

Items considered potentially dangerous or threatening will be receipted and held for you until you leave the premises.  To collect these itmes you should approach the Security Guard at the completion of the hearing.  Prohibited items will be confiscated and handed to the Police.
