Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Schedule 2 to the Private Security Industry Act 2001 lists various activities of security operatives that are prohibited if they are carried out without a Security Industry Authority licence once the activity has been designated as licensable conduct by an order under section 3(3) of the Act. The Schedule also sets out a number of specific exceptions to this regime. This Order adds a number of new exceptions relating to Northern Ireland to the Schedule and also amends the definitions of some of the activities listed in the Schedule in order to take account of Northern Ireland legislation.
