SIA launches new Martyn’s Law webinars as updated guidance is published

Organisations preparing for Martyn’s Law are being encouraged to sign up for a new series of Security Industry Authority (SIA) webinars, offering a direct opportunity to hear from the regulator’s Martyn’s Law team, ask questions, and help shape the final statutory guidance.

The SIA is inviting all organisations expected to fall within scope of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025—or those with an interest in it—to review and comment on the draft section 12 statutory guidance. The consultation remains open until Friday 12 June 2026.

The webinars will walk attendees through the draft guidance, explain how the SIA intends to operate as the regulator, and provide clarity on compliance expectations. According to the SIA, this is an “important opportunity” for organisations to understand the regulatory approach and contribute to shaping the final version of the guidance.

Upcoming webinar sessions

Wednesday 3 June, 12.30pm–1.15pm
Wednesday 3 June, 4pm–4.45pm
Tuesday 9 June, 10am–10.45am
Tuesday 9 June, 2pm–2.45pm

Update: New guidance published on 27 May

The SIA has also updated its publication “Martyn’s Law: the SIA’s new regulatory role”, most recently on 27 May 2026, as part of its ongoing work to prepare for the implementation of Martyn’s Law. The collection brings together key materials including the draft section 12 statutory guidance, updates from executive directors, and links to wider Home Office guidance.

The update forms part of the SIA’s broader programme of engagement, which includes consultation activity, recruitment for new regulatory roles, and continued communication with sectors that will be affected by the Act. The SIA emphasises that its aim is to act as a “proportionate, supportive and robust regulator” as organisations prepare for the new duties.
