The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, commonly referred to as Martyn’s Law, introduces a new statutory framework intended to improve public safety and preparedness at certain publicly accessible premises and events across the United Kingdom.
The legislation places duties on those responsible for qualifying premises and events to consider the threat from terrorism and implement proportionate procedures and measures intended to reduce the risk of physical harm to members of the public in the event of an attack.
The Act establishes a tiered approach based upon the number of individuals reasonably expected to be present at premises or events from time to time. Depending upon the applicable tier, dutyholders may be required to implement and maintain public protection procedures and, for enhanced tier premises and events, additional public protection measures.
The implementation of the Act will be supported through statutory guidance and oversight by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) as regulator.
BS4’s multidisciplinary consultancy team is well placed to assist clients in understanding the requirements of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 through our extensive experience in regulatory compliance, construction health and safety, building safety and risk management across a wide range of sectors and public-facing environments.
Our experience advising clients, designers, dutyholders and organisations in relation to complex statutory frameworks places us in a strong position to support the integration of proportionate risk management principles within both existing premises and future developments.
BS4 is committed to maintaining an informed understanding of the developing legislative framework, statutory guidance and emerging industry expectations associated with the implementation of Martyn’s Law.
