Practical security support for organisations preparing for the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 — commonly known as Martyn's Law.
Book a Security ConsultationSee Our SupportThe Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 became law on 3 April 2025. The Government expects the substantive requirements to come into force in spring 2027 and is using the implementation period to publish guidance and prepare organisations.
We help organisations review their security arrangements and develop practical plans staff can understand and use.
Review premises, people, access arrangements, vulnerabilities and existing protective measures.
Develop practical procedures for evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and emergency communication.
Awareness and scenario-based training to help staff understand their role during an incident.
Walk through realistic scenarios to test decisions, communications and responsibilities.
Support for qualifying events and wider event security arrangements.
Review existing plans and recommend practical improvements as guidance and circumstances develop.
For qualifying premises, the standard or enhanced tier is generally determined by the number of people reasonably expected to be present at the same time, subject to the Act's specific provisions.
Generally where 200–799 people may reasonably be expected to be present at the same time.
Responsible persons must, so far as reasonably practicable, have appropriate public protection procedures to reduce the risk of physical harm from a terrorist attack.
The four procedures are:
Generally where 800 or more people may reasonably be expected to be present at the same time, subject to the Act's specific rules.
Enhanced duty premises and qualifying events have additional requirements concerning public protection measures, including measures intended to reduce vulnerability to acts of terrorism.
Early years, primary, secondary and further education settings have special provisions. In-scope education premises remain in the standard tier even where 800 or more people may be present.
Review existing procedures, access control, visitor management and emergency arrangements.
Develop clear, staff-led procedures suitable for the school's environment.
Tabletop scenarios to test communication and decision-making.
We support pubs, licensed venues, hotels, events and other organisations with practical preparedness and wider security planning.
Identify vulnerabilities around entrances, exits, public areas, staff areas and emergency arrangements.
Build clear procedures around evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication.
Integrate Martyn's Law preparedness with crowd management, guest screening and event security.
We can tailor the engagement to your organisation rather than assuming every client needs the same service.
Initial discussion and review of existing arrangements, vulnerabilities and priorities.
Risk assessment, procedures, staff awareness and tabletop exercise planning.
Periodic review of procedures and wider protective security arrangements as your organisation changes.
The Government currently expects the substantive requirements to come into force in spring 2027. The exact commencement date will be confirmed ahead of commencement.
The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is the regulator.
Early years, primary, secondary and further education premises have a special provision and remain in the standard tier even if 800 or more people may be present, subject to the Act's specific rules.
No. We provide practical security advice and preparedness support. The responsible person retains responsibility for meeting their legal duties.
Requirements depend on the premises or event and the applicable tier. Our approach starts with understanding the site, existing arrangements and reasonably practicable measures rather than assuming a particular product or system is required.
Arrange a confidential discussion about your premises, event or organisation.
