(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations exempt certain persons from the licensing requirement under section 3 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (“the 2001 Act”) on the basis that suitable alternative arrangements are in place which will make it unnecessary for those persons to be so licensed.
The exempt persons are to carry out licensable activity at officially designated London Olympics venues. The exemptions apply for the period from 1 March 2012 to 30 September 2012 to cover the preparation, the actual games period and the decommissioning period of the London Olympics.
Regulations 4 and 5 specify the circumstances in which a person will be exempt.
Regulation 4 specifies that a person will be exempt from the licensing requirement under the 2001 Act if they have: completed a recognised Bridging the Gap course or they are in full time education; they have successfully obtained one or more of the qualifications relevant to the activity that they are performing; they hold an Accreditation Card produced and issued by the London Organising Committee; they are employed by a London Organising Committee official security provider; and they are deployed to an officially designated London Olympics venue.
Regulation 5 specifies that a person will be exempt from the licensing requirement if they would ordinarily be exempt as a relevant employee engaged in licensable conduct carried out in connection with the use of a certified sports ground or certified sports stand for purposes for which its safety certificate has effect. This exemption applies where the person is working at a certified sports ground or certified sports stand that is an officially designated London Olympics venue being used for the football competition and the person is working under contract to a London Organising Committee official security provider.
