Terms, and who we are

Who we are

We are not a law firm and not a security consultancy. We do not give legal advice, we do not assess how likely an attack on your premises is, and we do not deal with the regulator on your behalf. We put your answers into documents. You read them, change them and decide whether to rely on them.

Preparing documents is not a reserved legal activity under the Legal Services Act 2007, which is why this is lawful for us to do. Deciding what is appropriate and reasonably practicable for your building is not something a document can do for you, which is why it is not what we are offering.

What you get

A tier answer against the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, with the section of the Act that produced it.
Five documents built from your answers, with a version number and the guidance edition they were written against.
Somewhere to record training and drills, and to export both.
An e-mail when a review is due.

What we do not do

No threat or risk assessment. Nothing here judges how likely an attack on your premises is. That is work for an accredited security adviser, and neither the SIA nor the Home Office endorses any firm for it — they say so themselves.
No badges. There is no scheme of registration or accreditation for premises under the Act, and anyone selling you one is selling you nothing. You will not find the words on this site or in our documents.
No notification on your behalf. Section 9 puts it on the responsible person, and pressing the button would be claiming to be them.
No enhanced tier. Premises expecting 800 or more people at the same time need public protection measures under section 6 and a document that goes to the regulator under section 7. We produce neither and we say so rather than producing something that looks close.
No machine-written sentences. Every word in every document was written by a person, or quoted from the Act or the Home Office guidance with its citation, or typed in by you. A document about keeping people alive is not a place for generated prose.

Where the law is

The Act received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025. Only section 27 is in force, from 10 April 2026 (S.I. 2026/320). The duties are expected to come into force in spring 2027. The Home Office statutory guidance was published on 21 April 2026, and its English text was corrected on 6 August 2026 by a correction slip; the update of 25 August added the Welsh translations. We write against the corrected English text, and every document says which edition it was written against. The SIA's own guidance is not final: it was consulted 15 April to 12 June 2026; final version expected autumn 2026. Every document we generate says so on every page, and that line stays there until the guidance is published and the wording has been checked against it.

Accuracy, and what happens if we are wrong

Every figure and every citation here was taken from the Act as enacted or from the published guidance, and is printed next to the thing it produced so that you can check it. Laws change and guidance changes. Read the documents before you rely on them, and change anything that is not true of your building — an evacuation route that is wrong on paper is worse than no paper at all.

The responsible person under section 4 of the Act is whoever controls the premises. That does not move because a document exists, and it cannot be contracted out to a supplier.

This is a prototype offered free of charge. It may be withdrawn or changed at any time.

What we hold, who else sees it and how long we keep it is in the privacy notice.
