Over the years following the terrorist attack on Westminster Bridge, Frain has served across a number of roles within the British national security space, primarily across the
Counter Terrorism Policing network. These include as an Advisor, Ambassador, and National Chair of their Counter Terrorism Youth Advisory Group. In January 2018, Frain was one of six British survivors of terrorism who co-founded the charity Survivors Against Terror in order to proactively campaign for improvements in state support provided to victims of terrorism and lobby Government for the requisite changes. In March 2021, Frain joined other survivors in campaigning for a plaque in commemoration of the event to be installed at Westminster Bridge. In November 2021, Frain founded the Resilience in Unity Project, Their launch event was supported by
The Countess of Wessex,
General The Lord Dannatt, former Chief of the General Staff of the British Army, and
Matt Jukes, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing. The Project records the testimonies of victims of terrorism worldwide and crafts these into counter-narrative resources that can be used by schools, colleges, and other interested parties to raise awareness of the impacts of violent extremism on those most intimately affected. They also organise events and discussions to enable survivors of terrorism with opportunities to become involved in counterterrorism work should they wish to do so. As a result of his work, he has been called upon as an expert by the
Council of Europe,
United Nations, and the
UK Parliament, and has given statements at several conferences. Frain has also voiced support for several charities operating within the space of emergency preparedness and resilience-building.

National Emergencies Trust, a charity with the patronage of

In addition to his advocacy and work in counterterrorism, Frain has also worked for several universities, teaching on terrorism and national security. These include Edge Hill University, The
