Home Office Publishes Sports and Security RIA

The Home Office has published a partial Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) focused on private security at sporting events. What is an RIA?

The RIA considers the options available for applying the Private Security Industry Act 2001 to security staff at sports and other events, sets out the Government's views on the options and seeks comments on issues related to implementation.

This document is being circulated to sports and events organisers, organisations representing the private security industry, police representative bodies, relevant local authority organisations and a wide variety of other organisations with an interest in the sports and events sector and the effectiveness of the private security industry.

You can download the RIA (download size: 846kb) from our website. It is also available on the Home Office website.

Comments on the matters raised in the RIA should be sent to the address provided in the document no later than 16 June 2006.
