The aim of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill 2024 (also known as Martyn's Law) is to reduce/mitigate the risk of terrorist attacks. This will apply to the education sector. When the Bill becomes law it will impose 'standard tier' obligations on those responsible for buildings used for childcare or primary provision and secondary or further education. The government recognises that existing safeguarding policies and procedures mean much has already been done to reduce risk and consequently these types of premises will fall within standard tier regardless of maximum numbers of attendance. The Bill, as currently drafted, draws a distinction between these types of premises and those used for higher education. Higher education premises may well be freely accessible to members of the public, representing a greater risk profile. The sector will need to keep a watching brief on the Bill's passage through Parliament to ensure it is best placed to meet its obligations when it becomes law.
