This course is for health and safety professionals and other workers who will be involved in managing premises and events that fall under the enhanced duty requirements of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025.

Enhanced tier premises and qualifying events refers to publicly accessible premises or events where it is reasonable to expect that 800 or more individuals may be present at the same time. Stricter legal duties are imposed due to the higher potential impact of any terrorist attack.
