A clear breakdown of what Martyn’s Law means and why it matters.
Martyn’s Law (Protect Duty) requires venues and events to implement clear security measures to prevent terror threats. Following the Royal Assent of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, action is now required to ensure public safety.
Businesses and venues with a capacity of 200 or more must assess terrorist threats and put safety measures in place. This applies to both Standard Duty (200–799 people) and Enhanced Duty (800+ people) premises.
Requirements vary by venue size and may include risk assessments, staff training, clear procedures, and sharing plans with the SIA when needed.
The legislation is named in memory of Martyn Hett, one of the 22 people killed in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack in 2017. It aims to improve protective security at public venues and events.
Martyn’s Law requires venues to put in place sensible, proportionate security measures.
It’s about being prepared to protect the public with clear procedures, not turning venues into fortresses.
