Fieldfisher's Protect Duty Roundtable

The potential scope of the Protect Duty (legislation published by the UK government on 26 February 2021) is far-reaching and will require organisations to engage with issues around security and counter terrorism in new and meaningful ways. The aim of a Protect Duty would be to impose a legal obligation on organisations to consider the safety and security of their staff and the public who use their facilities. Fieldfisher in collaboration with Matrix Risk Solutions presented the second in the series of roundtable events on 29 September to discuss potential legal issues, the status of the Consultation process as well as insurance considerations.
