A practical look at Martyn’s Law with an emphasis on Standard Duty Premises. Martyn’s Law requires premises to be prepared for attacks, ready to respond, and able to mitigate impact and reduce physical harm. Larger premises and events must also take steps to reduce vulnerability to attacks. It establishes who is responsible for considering risk and how to prepare.
We discuss what you will need to do in order to comply with Martyn’s Law – looking at which premises/events are ‘in-scope’ and the requirements for Standard and Enhanced Duty Premises, and for Qualifying Events. We also look at the regulator’s responsibilities and enforcement.
Finally, we discuss some practical examples and suggestions.
