Common Questions About Martyn's Law Compliance

We know compliance legislation can feel complex. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often from venue operators.

Still have questions?

Our compliance team is available to speak with you directly about your venue's specific situation.

Martyn's Law — formally the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act — requires venues and events above a certain capacity threshold to have appropriate protective security and preparedness measures in place. It was named in memory of Martyn Hett, who died in the Manchester Arena attack in 2017.

Yes. Schools that can accommodate 100 or more individuals in a qualifying area fall under the Standard Tier requirements. This includes most secondary schools, colleges, and many primary schools with large halls or event spaces.

The primary determinant is venue capacity. Premises where 100–799 people can be present fall under the Standard Tier. Venues with a capacity of 800 or more fall under the Enhanced Tier, which carries more extensive obligations including a formal security plan and designated security personnel requirements.

Standard Tier audits are typically completed and reported within 48 hours of receiving your venue information. Enhanced Tier audits, due to their greater depth and complexity, are delivered within 5 working days. We work efficiently to avoid disruption to your operations.

Non-compliance with Martyn's Law can result in significant civil penalties, including fines up to £18 million or 5% of global turnover for Enhanced Tier venues. Standard Tier venues face fines up to £10,000. Beyond financial penalties, there is the moral and reputational responsibility to protect those who use your venue.

Absolutely. We offer multi-site audit packages for operators managing several premises. Our AI platform allows us to process multiple venues simultaneously, ensuring consistent compliance documentation across your entire portfolio.
