Are you ready for Martyn’s Law?
Martyn’s Law asks those responsible for qualifying premises and events to think ahead about terrorism risk and take proportionate, mostly low-cost steps — naming a responsible person, briefing staff, and having evacuation and lockdown plans. This check indicates your likely tier from expected capacity and scores how many core measures you already have, then highlights the gaps to close first.
For the full picture, read Martyn’s Law explained. We can help with risk assessments and staff briefings as part of corporate event security.
Martyn’s Law Readiness Check — FAQs
What is Martyn’s Law?
Martyn’s Law (the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act) places a duty on those responsible for certain premises and events to take steps to reduce the risk and harm from terrorist attacks. It introduces a standard tier for venues expecting 200+ people and an enhanced tier for 800+.
Which tier applies to my event?
As a rule of thumb, premises or events reasonably expected to host 200–799 people fall in the standard tier, and 800 or more in the enhanced tier, which carries additional documented requirements. This tool uses your expected capacity to indicate the likely tier.
Is this self-assessment official?
No — it is an informal readiness indicator to help you prepare, not a compliance certificate. Always check the current statutory guidance and, for the enhanced tier, take competent advice.
