Martyn's Law

The Preparation for the Terrorism Protection of Premises Bill, also known as Martyn's Law, represents a pivotal shift in the UK's approach to counterterrorism and public safety. Our dedicated page provides comprehensive insights into how businesses and organisations can prepare and comply with this important legislation.

​

Understanding Martyn's Law

Martyn's Law is named in memory of Martyn Hett, one of the victims of the Manchester Arena attack in 2017. The legislation aims to ensure that venues and public spaces are adequately prepared for and protected against terrorist attacks. It mandates a set of requirements for owners and operators of public spaces to enhance security measures and preparedness.

​

Key Requirements of Martyn's Law

Martyn's Law introduces specific obligations for public venues, including:

1. Risk Assessment: Venues must conduct thorough risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities to terrorist attacks.

2. Action Plans: Based on the risk assessment, venues are required to develop and implement detailed action plans to mitigate identified risks.

3. Training: Staff must receive appropriate training on how to respond to and mitigate the impact of terrorist incidents.

4. Public Information: Venues need to provide information to the public on the measures in place to protect them and what to do in the event of an attack.

5. Collaboration: There's an emphasis on collaboration between venue operators and local authorities, emergency services, and the community to enhance security.
