Standard Duty likely applies (200–799). You'll need procedures covering evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication.

How it works

From "am I in scope" to a finished document in three steps

No account needed to check your tier. Pro just unlocks the clause library and the document generator on top of the same page.

1

Check your duty tier — free

Enter your maximum occupancy and premises type. Instantly see if you're out of scope, Standard Duty, or Enhanced Duty.

2

Pick your clauses

Pro unlocks a 40-clause library across all four categories. Tick what applies, fill in a few venue-specific details, and the wording merges in automatically.

3

Get your document

A formatted Public Protection Procedures document — cover page, review log, staff sign-off table — ready to print or save as PDF.

Countdown to expected commencement

The Act received Royal Assent 3 April 2025. Government has signalled a ~24-month implementation period, with commencement expected Spring 2027. The SIA's regulatory function is already standing up through 2026 — early preparation avoids a last-minute scramble.
