Martyn’s Law: Are Your Customers Ready to Meet the Enhanced Requirements?

As the implementation of Martyn’s Law (The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) moves closer, organisations responsible for premises with an expected capacity of 800 or more people (including staff) should already be reviewing their security and emergency response plans.

If any of your customers manage a:

✓ University or college campus

✓ NHS Trust or major hospital

✓ Theatre or concert venue

✓ Stadium or sports venue

✓ Museum or large art gallery

✓ Exhibition or conference centre

✓ Large place of worship

✓ Major visitor attraction

✓ Civic building or public venue

then it is likely to fall within the Enhanced Tier.

Enhanced Tier Brings Additional Responsibilities

Unlike Standard Tier, Enhanced Tier organisations are expected to demonstrate a more comprehensive and documented approach to protecting people from terrorist incidents.

This includes taking reasonably practical steps to:

✓ Assess the risks specific to your premises

✓ Develop and maintain security procedures

✓ Coordinate response across multiple teams & locations

✓ Control access to buildings and sensitive areas

✓ Communicate with staff, visitors & emergency services

✓ Support evacuation, lockdown & invacuation procedures

✓ Review, monitor & continually improve security

Technology alone doesn’t create compliance, but the right solutions can play a crucial role in supporting these responsibilities.

Prepare Before Enforcement Begins

The statutory guidance for Martyn’s Law has now been published, with enforcement expected in Spring 2027.

Now is the ideal time to prompt your customers to review their existing infrastructure and consider whether their communication, access control and incident management systems are capable of supporting the wider preparedness strategy.

Ask your customers:

✓ Can security coordinate across multiple buildings?

✓ Can you communicate with thousands immediately?

✓ Do your access and CCTV systems work together?

✓ Can emergency announcements reach all indoor
and outdoor areas?

✓ Do operators have a single platform for managing
communications during an incident?

If the answer to any of these is “not yet”, we can help.

Are Your Customers Ready for the Standard Tier Requirements in Martyn’s Law?

Martyn’s Law is changing how organisations across the UK prepare for emergencies.

Martyn’s Law: The Standard Tier Requirements

If your customers’ premises can reasonably expect 200-799 people (including staff) on site at any one time, you are likely to fall within the Standard Tier requirements of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act.

This applies to more organisations than many realise, including:

✓ Smaller schools & academies

✓ GP surgeries & healthcare hubs

✓ Dental practices & clinics

✓ Community centres

✓ Libraries

✓ Places of worship

✓ Museums & art galleries

✓ Small theatres & entertainment venues

✓ Leisure facilities

✓ Conference & event spaces

✓ Hotels

What Does This Mean For Your Customers?

Martyn’s Law is about ensuring your organisation has practical procedures in place to help protect staff and visitors should a terrorist incident occur.

Standard Tier premises are expected to have procedures covering:

✓ Evacuation

✓ Lockdown

✓ Moving people to safer areas

✓ Communicating quickly and clearly during an incident

The key word throughout the legislation is preparedness. Having the ability to communicate instantly across your site, control access to buildings and provide clear instructions can make a significant difference during an emergency.Tech That Supports Your Customers’ PreparednessWhile every site is different, reliable communication and access control are central to an effective response.

Video Speaker (coming soon)

Enhance Your Customers’ Existing Infrastructure

One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding Martyn’s Law is that compliance requires replacing existing systems.
In reality, many organisations can enhance their existing telephony, access control and paging infrastructure with IP-based technologies that integrate with their current network, allowing them to improve preparedness without unnecessary complexity.

Start Preparing Today

Although Martyn’s Law is not expected to come into force until 2027, now is the ideal time to review your site’s emergency communication strategy.

Ask your customers:

  • Could you communicate with everyone on site within seconds?
  • Can you quickly initiate a lockdown if required?
  • Are visitors and staff able to receive clear instructions wherever they are?
  • Do your entry systems support secure access and visitor verification?
  • Would your teams know exactly what to do during a major incident?

If the answer to any of these is “not yet”, now is the perfect opportunity to start planning.

Talk to our specialists today on 01484 840048 or email us to discuss how 2N, Algo and Fanvil solutions can help your organisation improve preparedness and support your Martyn’s Law planning.
