In today’s evolving security landscape, ensuring the safety of public spaces has become paramount. The UKs forthcoming Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, commonly known as Martyns Law, is set to mandate enhanced security measures across public venues to better prepare for and protect against potential terrorist threats.
At 6C Group, we are committed to assisting businesses in navigating and complying with this critical legislation through our comprehensive crisis management training programmes.
What Is Martyn's Law?
Named in honour of Martyn Hett, a victim of the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, Martyn’s Law, also known as Protect Duty, aims to establish a standardised approach to security within publicly accessible locations. The legislation introduces a tiered model based on venue capacity:
- Standard Tier: Applies to venues with a capacity of 100 to 799 individuals, requiring basic security measures such as staff training and the development of incident response plans.
-
Enhanced Tier: Targets venues accommodating 800 or more individuals, necessitating comprehensive risk assessments and the implementation of detailed security protocols.
The primary objective of Martyns Law is to ensure that venues are not only prepared to deter potential threats but also equipped to respond effectively in the event of an incident.
