What is Martyn’s Law?


Martyn’s Law is crucial for ensuring the safety of students and staff, and it requires institutions to adopt measures such as risk assessments, staff training, and emergency response plans.

Martyn’s Law, named after Martyn Hett, a victim of the Manchester Arena attack, mandates that public venues, including schools, implement security measures to protect against terrorist attacks.


This legislation is designed to ensure that all public spaces have robust security protocols in place to prevent and respond to potential threats.
