Martyn’s Law, also known as Protect Duty, is changing how the UK approaches event safety. Here at Ninehundred Communications we are proud to support organisations in both the public and private sectors with tailored event solutions.
With the upcoming introduction of Martyn’s Law (Protect Duty), event organisers and venue operators will be expected to take proportionate, practical steps to improve public safety and prepare for potential threats. While compliance doesn’t necessarily require new technology or products, the right solutions can significantly streamline processes, from threat detection and incident response to crowd communication and coordination. At Ninehundred Communications Group, we offer scalable, proven tools that make it easier to meet these responsibilities efficiently, helping you protect guests, reassure stakeholders, and stay one step ahead in your event safety planning.
Martyn’s Law is named in memory of Martyn Hett, one of the victims of the Manchester Arena attack in 2017. The law proposes a new statutory duty for event venues and public spaces to consider terrorist threats and implement proportionate protective measures.
This means venues must:
Conduct risk assessments
Have clear and actionable emergency procedures
Ensure staff are trained and equipped to respond to threats
Our comprehensive range of event safety and communication solutions has been designed with threat mitigation at its core. Here’s how we help your event meet safety expectations:
Our 900Opengate Threat Detection System offers next-generation screening that’s fast, discreet, and effective. It identifies weapons without the need for invasive searches, helping your teams maintain a secure and welcoming environment while ensuring high footfall flow.
Handheld metal detectors and body-worn cameras enhance accountability and improve crowd control. Our equipment is easy to deploy and delivers rapid, accurate results—essential for compliance with Martyn’s Law.
Our Avigilon Unity Video Security and Alta Video Management systems use AI-powered analytics to alert security teams to unusual behaviour, allowing early intervention and reducing response time in emergencies.
Whether indoor or outdoor, clear communication is vital. Our range of two-way radios ensures your staff stay connected throughout the venue. In larger or remote spaces, our satellite broadband guarantees secure, high-speed connectivity.
We provide on-site support and training so your team knows how to use the equipment, respond to alerts, and implement protocols effectively.
From your initial needs assessment through to equipment installation and ongoing maintenance, our team of experts works with you to create reasonably practicable action plans in the event of an attack, just as Martyn’s Law requires.
Let’s build safer events together.

If there is one thing that makes me keep coming back to Ninehundred Communications Group is Ursula Russell when looking at what our site need regarding criteria Ursula always points me in the right direction not only doe’s Ursula give me the best advice for radios we also have a good chat and laugh and I think that is what is missing now days with companies.
