Is your public venue “terrorist ready” and prepared for the enduring threat from terrorism to this “green and pleasant land”? Are you protected or are you facing an unmitigated risk?
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, introduced in 2023 is still progressing. It requires owners or operators of public places or events to prevent terrorism.
The tireless and passionate response to the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017 and subsequent campaigning, whilst inspirational, has continued to meet with exhausting frustration and delay.
However, the threat from terrorism, both internationally inspired and home grown remains an ever-present risk to UK businesses. As the government prepares to analyse the results of a further consultation exercise for those organisations in the proposed “standard tier” (a capacity of 100 – 799 individuals), now, more than ever is the time for business to consider their preparedness for, and protection from, a terrorist attack.
Action is needed by those who own or operate publicly accessible premises or events.
All organisations of course differ in size, location and function and it is impossible to apply a “one size fits all” approach to any aspect of security management. Our specialist Security and Risk Management team can assist organisations to:
- Consider the proportionality of security measures versus over-protection.
- Allow time to prepare – now is the time to act.
- Carry out focused vulnerability assessments.
- Consider the protective security measures needed and provide specialist advice to mitigate risk.
- Ensure accessibility to the venue is not compromised and ensure inclusivity for all staff and patrons.
- Ensure legislative compliance.
