Martyn's Law Terrorism Protection of Premises Bill

Martyn's Law establishes a legal duty for operators of publicly accessible premises and large events to assess and plan for terrorist threats, enforced through the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. The Home Office and Security Industry Authority lead implementation, with statutory guidance now published to clarify security obligations for venues, event organisers, and contractors. The policy is active and moving into compliance and enforcement phase following consultation.
