Our Solution for Education
Our platform is purpose-built to help education institutions meet the requirements of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act quickly, confidently, and proportionately.
It guides non-specialists through compliance, enabling an assessment of what is reasonably practicable and producing or updating all required plans. All evidence needed to demonstrate compliance is automatically captured, creating an audit trail that supports both the regulator and Ofsted’s safeguarding expectations.
For multi-site organisations, Prova Risk provides complete portfolio oversight, applying the same defensible process across every location. The platform is dynamic, adapting as threats evolve and legislation changes — keeping your institution safe, compliant, and inspection-ready.
The School Exemption from the Enhanced Tier
Early years, primary, secondary, and further education settings have a special consideration — they remain in the Standard Tier, even if more than 800 people are present. Enhanced duties do not apply to these settings.
Higher education is different: HE premises can be Standard (200–799) or Enhanced (800+).
Ofsted and Safeguarding Alignment
Inspectors may look for evidence that schools have appropriate procedures in place and can demonstrate compliance with the Act. This could include reviewing documentation, training records, and emergency plans, and understanding how these are integrated into everyday safeguarding and governance.
In practice, being able to evidence compliance with Martyn’s Law is likely to signal strong leadership and effective school management.
