Almost everything written about the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 comes from people who sell security services, training or consultancy. So the conversation is fear, and the fear is out of proportion to the duty.
This book is built from the statute and the Home Office's own published evidence. It quotes the sections, works through the tests slowly, and tells you three things nobody selling you anything has any reason to mention.
The threshold is two hundred people. If it is not reasonable to expect two hundred or more in your building at the same time, from time to time, this law does not apply to it. The Home Office's own consultation found that 72 per cent of village hall respondents had a capacity below that line.
Places of worship, nurseries, schools and colleges are standard tier whatever their size. Schedule 1 says so in terms. A cathedral holding two thousand is standard tier. So is a secondary school with fifteen hundred pupils.
The standard tier does not require you to buy anything. Section 5 asks for four procedures: evacuation, moving people somewhere safer inside, preventing entry or exit, and telling people what is happening. No equipment. No cameras. No guards. No consultant. No certificate. No document.
Inside: the scope test in the Act's own words with a one-page record to fill in; which tier you are in and the Schedule 1 overrides; who the responsible person actually is, and why it is the trustee body and not the volunteer; the four procedures with wording you can copy; shared buildings, hirers and the wedding on Saturday; the notification deadlines, which are the only part of this Act with a clock on it; what the regulator can actually do, and why any penalty must take account of your ability to pay; section 27(5), the subsection that protects you if you are ever challenged; and a list of the things you have been told you need that the Act never mentions.
Written for churchwardens, village hall trustees, school governors, scout and guide leaders, sports club committees and the people who run small venues. Every legal statement is sourced to legislation.gov.uk and dated.
Information, not legal advice. The law as at September 2026, when the duties had not yet been commenced. The book explains how to check that for yourself in thirty seconds.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
