The statutory guidance for the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 was released by the UK Home Office on 15th April.
Section 27 guidance has now been published, consisting of nine chapters:
Alongside the statutory guidance, three non-statutory supplementary documents have also been released, covering:
This guidance is intended to explain the Act’s requirements in a clear and accessible way, reflecting the government’s intention that those responsible for premises and events can comply without needing specialist services.
The Home Office has confirmed that it is continuing to develop a wider package of supporting materials to help organisations understand the requirements of the Act and prepare for its commencement.
Separately, the Security Industry Authority (SIA) will shortly publish its draft Section 12 guidance, outlining how it will exercise its regulatory functions. This will be accompanied by a public consultation on its regulatory approach.
Whilst organisations that fall within scope of the Act may wish to begin considering the requirements, there is no requirement to comply until the legislation comes into force.
