UK's Terrorism Act 2025: impact on insurance

The UK’s new Terrorism Act 2025 has received Royal Assent in April 2025, introducing enhanced accountability for the safety and security of public venues and establishing a new legal bar for negligence in the mitigation of terrorism risks. Organisations affected will need to (re-)assess the risk of terror attacks, implement measures to reduce the risk, and put together robust terrorism plans. In particular, smaller organisations that may not be regarded as obvious targets may need to take action, as many of them will have never formally assessed terrorism threats. Furthermore, affected businesses will need to review their insurance policies to ensure appropriate cover.
