The landmark counter-terrorism legislation Martyn’s Law, received Royal Assent on Thursday, 3 April. This marks a significant step in enhancing public safety by mandating venues and public spaces implement measures to mitigate terrorist threats.Â
The Government acknowledges the tireless campaigning efforts of Figen Murray, mother of Martyn Hett, who tragically lost his life in the Manchester Arena attack. Her advocacy has been instrumental in driving this legislation forward.Â
Martyn’s Law strengthens security measures across public premises and events by requiring those responsible to assess risks and plan responses to potential terrorist attacks. Larger venues and events must also implement measures to reduce vulnerability to such threats.Â
The Act establishes a tiered approach based on venue capacity:Â
A wide variety of venues and locations must adhere to the Act, including:Â
Events that expect at least 800 attendees and enforce entry conditions (e.g., ticket checks) also fall under the scope of the Act enforcement.Â
While those within scope may begin preparations, compliance will not be required until the legislation is fully enacted. The Home Office will publish statutory guidance during the 24-month implementation period to support businesses in meeting their legal responsibilities.Â
The Security Industry Authority (SIA) will act as the regulatory body, offering support and guidance while also enforcing compliance through measures such as compliance notices, monetary penalties, and restriction orders for serious breaches.Â
