The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act (often referred to as Martyn's Law) received Royal Assent in April 2025. Its aim is to require those with control of certain premises to take steps to reduce the risk of physical harm in the event of a terror attack and, for events and larger premises, to reduce the vulnerability to acts of terrorism. While there is a two tier approach, early years, primary, secondary and further education settings have a special consideration in place and will be in the standard tier, regardless of their capacity. Privately owned independent training providers and higher education establishments will be treated the same as other premises, with standard tier requirements for settings with a capacity of 200 to 799 people, and enhanced tier requirements for settings with 800 and above individuals. As a minimum, standard tier settings will need to have appropriate evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication procedures in place. Enhanced tier settings must assess the vulnerability of the premises or event to a terror attack and take reasonably practicable steps accordingly. The implementation period of at least 24 months from Royal Assent before the Act comes into force should be used to get to grips with the new obligations, and to plan and prepare accordingly.
