Delayed the implementation of new anti-social behaviour case review procedures that were due to begin on 26 October 2026.

These Regulations postpone the commencement of specific provisions within the Crime and Policing Act 2026 that were originally scheduled to take effect on 26 October 2026.

By amending previous commencement regulations, this instrument prevents Section 6 and Schedule 3 of the Act—which concern the further review of anti-social behaviour cases—from entering into force on that date.

The delay applies to the relevant bodies responsible for anti-social behaviour case reviews in England and Wales and the individuals seeking such reviews.

Activated specific criminal justice provisions concerning illegal pornography, child abduction, and abortion-related pardons.

These Regulations bring several provisions of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 into legal force on two separate dates in November 2026.

The instrument activates criminal law provisions regarding specific types of extreme or illegal pornography and child abduction on November 6, followed by provisions for pardons and the removal of criminal records for women investigated or convicted under abortion laws on November 16.

These mandates apply to the Ministry of Justice and law enforcement agencies, primarily within the jurisdiction of England and Wales.

Activated multiple provisions of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 concerning anti-social behaviour, SIM farms, police conduct lists, and extradition procedures.

This statutory instrument brings several sections of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 into legal force across four dates in late 2026.

It activates new legal mechanisms including respect orders, youth and housing injunctions, and criminal offences related to 'SIM farms' and specified articles.

The regulations also establish police barred and advisory lists, update extradition procedures for convicted persons, and grant registered social housing providers new powers to close premises.

The instrument applies to law enforcement agencies, social housing providers, the judiciary, and individuals subject to criminal or civil proceedings in England and Wales.

Activated legal provisions requiring enhanced background checks for supervised staff working with children starting September 2026.

These Regulations bring into force section 139 of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 on 1 September 2026 for England and Wales.

This provision amends the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 by removing the exemption that excluded supervised roles from being classified as 'regulated activity' within the child workforce.

Consequently, individuals working closely and frequently with children are now subject to enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks and children’s barred list checks, regardless of supervision levels.

Established the administrative rules and publication requirements for the Civil Nuclear Police Authority's barred and advisory lists regarding dismissed personnel.

These regulations require the Civil Nuclear Police Authority to maintain and manage a barred list and an advisory list for constables and civilian employees.

The instrument specifies what information must be recorded—such as names, ranks, and reasons for dismissal—and mandates the publication of certain details regarding dismissed constables for a five-year period, provided national security or personal safety is not compromised.

It establishes procedures for automatic removal from the lists in cases of death, successful appeal, or the passage of time, and creates a process for individuals to apply for removal after a minimum period of three or five years.

Established the administrative requirements and removal procedures for the National Crime Agency's barred and advisory lists.

These Regulations require the Director General of the National Crime Agency to maintain and manage two specific lists: the barred list, for individuals dismissed for misconduct, and the advisory list, for those who resigned or retired while subject to investigations.

The document mandates the inclusion of specific personal and professional details for listed individuals, including the nature of the conduct or allegations involved.

It further establishes procedures for the automatic removal of individuals in cases of death, successful legal appeals, or findings of unfair dismissal, and creates a statutory process for individuals to apply for removal from either list after five years.

Established the procedures for maintaining, publishing, and removing names from the Ministry of Defence Police barred and advisory lists.

These Regulations establish the administrative and legal framework for the Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) barred and advisory lists as required by the Crime and Policing Act 2026.

They direct the Secretary of State to maintain records of MDP constables who have been dismissed for misconduct or performance issues, and those who resign or retire while under investigation.

The regulations apply to the Secretary of State, the Ministry of Defence Police, and individuals formerly employed by the MDP, mandating the publication of certain barred individuals' details while providing mechanisms for removal from these lists based on time, death, or successful appeal.

Established the administrative framework and transparency requirements for the British Transport Police Authority to maintain records of dismissed or investigated personnel.

These Regulations require the British Transport Police Authority to maintain a barred persons list and an advisory list for constables and civilian employees.

The instrument specifies what personal and professional information the Authority must record, sets conditions for the publication of barred list data, and establishes protocols for the automatic or requested removal of individuals from these lists.

It applies to the British Transport Police Authority, the Chief Constable, and current or former members and civilian employees of the British Transport Police Force in England, Wales, and Scotland.
