Are you ready for Martyn’s Law?

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025 and is expected to be implemented within the next 24 months. There will be no legal requirement to comply until the legislation comes into force, and the Home Office will publish statutory guidance on compliance during the 24-month implementation period. The Act will strengthen the security of many publicly accessible premises (with a focus on retail, hospitality, entertainment and leisure venues). Those in control of relevant premises will be required to take steps to reduce the risk of physical harm to individuals in the event of a terrorist attack.
