Martyn's Law
Martyn's Law – Keeping Your Spaces Safer
Martyn’s Law, also known as the Protect Duty, is new UK legislation designed to improve public safety by requiring venues and organisations to be better prepared for the threat of terrorism. Named in honour of Martyn Hett, one of the victims of the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, the law aims to ensure that publicly accessible locations have appropriate security measures in place.
Whether you manage a small venue or a large public building, Martyn’s Law will bring new responsibilities – but you don’t have to face them alone.
