Martyn’s Law Across Sectors

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act applies to a wide range of premises and events where 200 or more people may be present at any one time. The legal requirement is the same for all — to implement reasonably practicable public protection measures that reduce the risk of harm from terrorism, in proportion to the nature, size, and use of each site.

What’s Required

Every organisation in scope must have clear, workable procedures for evacuation, invacuation, lockdown, and communication, specifically designed to address terrorism risks rather than standard health and safety scenarios. Duty holders may need to demonstrate how they determined what is reasonably practicable, showing how their actions balance risk, resources, and cost or effort to achieve proportionate, defensible compliance. Whether managing a single site or a complex national portfolio, the same principle applies — proportionate action, properly evidenced.

Accountability and Oversight

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act (2025) (also known as Martyn’s Law and previously known as the Protect Duty) became law on 3 April 2025. This means qualifying premises across the UK are required to have public protection procedures in place – so far as is reasonably practicable – to reduce the risk of physical harm if a terror incident occurs at, or near, the premises.

While qualifying premises await further guidance, they can take the opportunity to prepare now before the Act is enforced.

 

Our Solution

PROVA Risk provides a single, scalable platform for compliance under the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act – regardless of sector, size, or complexity.

The platform guides users step by step through the Reasonably Practicable Test, automatically generates site-specific plans, and stores the audit evidence needed to demonstrate compliance.

For multi-site operators, we deliver portfolio oversight, ensuring consistent, defensible standards across diverse locations – from offices and entertainment venues to transport, healthcare, and manufacturing facilities.

The platform is dynamic, adapting as threats evolve and legislation changes – helping organisations stay safe, compliant, and audit-ready without the cost or complexity of traditional consultant-led approaches.

Key Benefits for Premises In Scope

  • Universal applicability – suitable for any organisation in scope of Martyn’s Law
  • Guided compliance – built-in Reasonably Practicable Test and plan builders
  • Defensible audit trail – automatic record of training, drills, and updates
  • Portfolio oversight – manage multiple sites or business units in one place
  • Dynamic updates- adapts automatically to changing threats and legislation

These must be tailored to the building’s size, layout, and range of uses, and implemented so far as is reasonably practicable.

The procedures need to be communicated to relevant staff and volunteers and if inspected all qualifying premises will need to show evidence of these procedures – including proof these have been communicated to staff.
