It's the law
​
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 is in force. The SIA can inspect with 72 hours' notice and issue fines up to £10,000 for standard tier non-compliance.
Your future bookings are your current liability
WHY ACT NOW
Weddings and conferences are confirmed 12 to 18 months ahead. Every booking you accept today carries a duty of care that begins at the moment of signing — not on the day of the event.
Duty of care
Â
Every guest, delegate, member of staff and agency worker on your site is your legal and moral responsibility. That obligation extends to contractors, suppliers and entertainers.
Personal liability
Â
Non-compliance is not just a corporate risk. Directors, owners and general managers can face personal prosecution where non-compliance involves their consent, connivance or neglect.
HOW PENTA NOVA HELPS
