New tools to support preparation for Martyn's Law
What was announced
SIA urges those in scope of Martyn's Law to start to prepare.
Key points, in the publisher's words
- The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is releasing new planning tools today to support premises and events in scope of Martyn’s Law as they prepare to comply with the new legislation. Martyn’s Law, which is expected to come into force in spring 2027, aims to keep people safe by ensuring that publicly accessible premises and events are better prepared against acts of terrorism.
- The SIA is urging all those in scope to use the new planning tools to start to prepare for the incoming legislation.
- Developed with the support of volunteers from premises and events and the SIA’s protective security partners, there is a new planning tool for those in the standard tier to work through what procedures they have or will put in place to comply and a template for the enhanced tier to use to start documenting their procedures.
