The onus is on each National Cultural Institution to ensure that all necessary security measures are taken to protect and secure the collections in their care, the buildings in which they are housed and the safety and security of all staff and visitors. The Boards and management of the institutions are very aware of this responsibility.

Security reviews are undertaken as appropriate, and, self-evidently, are not a matter of public discourse.
