What is Martyn's Law?

Martyn's Law (the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill) requires public venues and events to implement specific security measures to protect against terrorist attacks. Named after Martyn Hett, who lost his life in the Manchester Arena bombing, it aims to ensure better protection for the public at events.

Emergency Response Planning

We help develop and implement emergency response plans, including evacuation procedures and communication protocols for various scenarios.

On-Site Safety Team

Documentation for Compliance

We provide comprehensive documentation of all safety measures implemented at your event, which can be presented to authorities to demonstrate compliance with Martyn's Law and other safety regulations — essential for event insurance and permissions.
