What is Martyn's Law?
A clear breakdown of what Martyn’s Law means and why it matters.
The "Protect Duty"
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.
Who does it apply to?
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.
What you need to do
Requirements vary by venue size and may include risk assessments, staff training, clear procedures, and sharing plans with the SIA when needed.
Named after Martyn Hett
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.
Key takeaway
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.
