Terrorism (Protection of Premises) BillContribution
In larger, enhanced tier premises, there will already be professional training undertaken by individuals. In the case of a major music or football arena, a new member of staff employed by that organisation would be involved in a centrally provided training package covering a whole range of things, one element of which would be the requirements under Clause 6 for enhanced premises. For a small village hall, the provisions under Clause 5(1), (2) and (3) and the specific public protection procedures are things that individuals need to understand, but to have a training package prepared would perhaps be overwork on what is potentially a simple responsibility for what happens in the event of an attack.
