RETAILERS HAVE YOUR SAY – MARTYN’S LAW CONSULTATION – SECURITY INDUSTRY AUTHORITY REGULATING GUIDANCE (SIA)

This public consultation is part of the set-up of the new regulatory functions relating to the Terrorism (Protection of premises) Act 2025 or Martyn’s Law.

As many of you may already be aware, the SIA are to become the regulator, in section 12 of the Act, it requires guidance to be produced on how the SIA will exercise their function as the regulator.

The SIA and Home Office draft guidance now requires your views especially if you are a retailer falling into scope of the Act.

Following consultation, the guidance will be published following Secretary of State approval.

The 2 pieces of statutory guidance will then interlink:

  • the Home Office’s section 27 guidance sets out the requirements of the Act: what people and organisations affected by the Act must do to comply
  • section 12 guidance explains how we will regulate the people and organisations affected by the Act

This consultation only covers our section 12 guidance. It does not cover the Home Office’s section 27 guidance.

They want you to have the opportunity to provide detailed answers to our questions.

You can use the ‘Save and continue later’ option (available at the bottom of every page) to save what you have already entered and then come back to it at a later date.

You must submit your consultation response by 11:59pm on 12 June 2026 for us to consider it, see below link:
