The legislative framework for the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 has been established, but the true challenge lies in evolving from a theoretical understanding of statutory guidance to the reality of ground-level protection. Following in the footsteps of our purpose-driven and people-first leadership philosophy, Carlisle is committed to ensuring our partners thrive beyond a legal threshold and actively foster a culture of vigilance and safety across the UK.
Over 400 industry leaders joined us on Thursday, 7th May, for a critical deep-dive webinar led by Nick Aldworth into the operational mechanics of the Act. Nick has a distinct history with Martyn’s Law, having co-authored the original white paper upon which the new law is based, with Public Safety Campaigner and Martyn’s mother, Figen Murray. Now, as our Managing Director of Counter-Terrorism, Intelligence and Risk, Nick is best placed to move us all beyond the heavy legal terminology with his guidance on breaking down the legislative ‘musts’ and ‘shoulds’ into a clear and actionable roadmap for 2026.
This session provided the clarity we needed to navigate an enormous legislative shift and the nuances of our responsibility.
We also explored how a premises’ scope can shift overnight based on physical changes to a site and discussed the vital importance of documenting the ‘why’ behind your security decisions.
The path to 2026 and beyond requires a strategy built on reality!
If you missed the live discussion, you can still access the full webinar. Please complete the registration form below to receive the webinar recording directly to your inbox, providing you with Nick’s expert interpretation of the recent threat level increase and how to align your procedures with the true spirit of public protection.
Today’s webinar was just the first step in deconstructing the new requirements. To ensure your organisation stays ahead of the enactment curve, over the coming months, we will be hosting three further deep-dive sessions, each focusing on the individual components of the guidance, from detailed vulnerability assessments to the final security measures required.
