Martyn's Law - The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act is not yet in force but aims to improve protective security in the UK, requiring organisations to take steps to prepare for the possibility of a terror attack. The Government has committed to a minimum two-year implementation period following Royal Assent earlier this year before commencing the requirements.

The Home Office has released a short video designed to educate viewers on the scope and requirements of the new Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act, known as Martyn’s Law.

This easy-to-follow animation is intended to help those responsible for premises and events understand the conditions of the Act and what it will involve should they fall into scope.

Watch the video on Protect UK here.
