Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025

Common card · No. 311764

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (c. 10), also known as Martyn's Law, is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom introduced in response to the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. It requires venues hosting large events (over 200 participants) to make plans and train staff for their response to any potential terrorist attacks. The act is known as Martyn's law, in honour of Martyn Hett, one of the victims of the terrorist attack, whose mother campaigned for more stringent laws to protect members of the public. The legislation makes it a legal requirement for premises and events to comply with a number of measures, with these differing depending on how many members of public the premises or event is expected to host. The Security Industry Authority is responsible for regulating compliance.
