Martyn's Law compliance
Martyn's Law readiness, evidenced
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 puts new public-protection duties on event organisers. EventGen turns that duty into a managed case: scope your event, register your event-day workforce, publish procedures, collect briefing acknowledgements, and export an evidence pack — all inside the platform already running your event.
Martyn's Law — formally the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 — received Royal Assent in April 2025. It requires those responsible for qualifying premises and events to take proportionate steps to reduce the risk of harm from terrorism, with a workforce that knows the procedures and documentation that proves it. For event organisers, that means real operational work: knowing whether the Act applies, who is legally responsible, which staff (including agency staff and volunteers) were on site, and being able to show a regulator what you did. EventGen manages that evidence and readiness alongside your registration data — it does not replace legal advice or certify compliance.
From "does this apply to us?" to an evidence pack
Scope assessment
Work through whether the Act applies to your event and which tier you fall into, with the reasoning recorded as part of your case.
Responsibility mapping
Record who is legally responsible for the premises or event, so the accountability chain is explicit before the event day.
Event-day workforce register
Register everyone working the event — your team, agency staff, and volunteers — from the same platform that manages your registrations.
Procedures & briefings
Publish your protection procedures and brief the workforce; each person acknowledges via a simple briefing code, no account needed.
Acknowledgement tracking
See exactly who has read and acknowledged the briefing, and chase the gaps before doors open.
Evidence pack export
Export a structured evidence pack of your case — scope, procedures, workforce, and acknowledgements — ready for an SIA inspection or internal review.
EventGen manages evidence and readiness for Martyn's Law — it does not certify compliance and is not legal advice. Confirm your obligations with your legal adviser and the official government guidance.
Martyn's Law FAQ
What is Martyn's Law?
Martyn's Law is the common name for the UK Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, which received Royal Assent in April 2025. It requires those responsible for qualifying public premises and events to take proportionate steps to reduce the risk of harm from a terrorist attack — including having public-protection procedures and, for larger premises and events, additional measures and documentation. It is named after Martyn Hett, one of the victims of the 2017 Manchester Arena attack.
Does Martyn's Law apply to my event?
It depends on scale and circumstances. Broadly, the Act sets a standard tier for qualifying premises where 200 or more people may be present, and an enhanced tier at 800 or more; qualifying public events with 800 or more attendees fall under enhanced-tier duties. EventGen helps you work through the scoping questions and records your reasoning, but you should confirm your position with legal advice and the official government guidance.
When does Martyn's Law come into force?
The Act received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025, with the government indicating an implementation period of at least 24 months before the duties are enforced, so organisers have time to prepare. Preparing early — procedures, workforce briefings, and evidence — is exactly what the implementation period is for.
What does EventGen's Martyn's Law feature actually do?
It manages the operational side of readiness as a case in your dashboard: scope assessment, responsibility mapping, an event-day workforce register (including agency staff and volunteers), published procedures with per-person briefing acknowledgements, and an exportable evidence pack for inspection or review.
Does EventGen certify that my event is compliant?
No. EventGen manages evidence and readiness — it records what you did and lets you demonstrate it. It does not certify compliance with the Act and is not a substitute for legal advice.
Do agency staff and volunteers need to be included?
Anyone working your event on the day can be registered in the workforce register and asked to acknowledge the briefing — including agency staff and volunteers who don't have EventGen accounts. They acknowledge via a briefing code, so there's no account setup.
