Translating the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025: A Practical Webinar Guide to New Statutory Guidance

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 UK.

Over 400 industry leaders joined us today for a critical deep-dive webinar into the operational mechanics of the Act, led by Nick Aldworth, our Managing Director of Counter Terrorism, Intelligence and Risk and the man behind the Martyn’s Law white paper alongside Figen Murray. Nick moved beyond the heavy legal terminology to deliver a masterclass in translation, breaking down the legislative ‘musts’ into a clear and actionable roadmap for 2026, without going into excessive detail on each point at this stage.

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.

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.
