Martyn’s Law: Is your organisation ready?
Martyn’s Law – officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 – is set to transform how UK organisations (with a capacity of 200 or more) approach safety, emergency planning and public protection. Resilience is no longer optional, it’s essential.
While statutory guidance for Martyn’s Law training is still forthcoming, public-facing organisations across hospitality, retail, and events can take proactive steps to prepare for compliance. Our course supports early adoption of best practices and helps embed a culture of safety and resilience.
Our Threat Awareness eLearning courses – including Threat Awareness for Events Staff*, Threat Awareness for Hospitality Staff*, and Threat Awareness for Retail Staff – equip teams with the knowledge to recognise threats, respond effectively, and recover with confidence, ensuring safer operations and improved resilience.
