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.

The Act will strengthen the security of many publicly accessible premises (with a focus on retail, hospitality, entertainment and leisure venues).
