Martyn’s Law: Helping You Protect People and Spaces

Martyn’s Law, formally known as the Protect Duty, is UK legislation designed to increase public safety and security at crowded places. It places a legal responsibility on venues, building owners, and operators to assess risks, prepare for potential threats, and implement proportionate protective measures. The law was introduced following public concern over attacks at crowded locations and aims to ensure everyone can visit public spaces safely.

Why Compliance Matters

Compliance with Martyn’s Law isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s an opportunity to:

Protect visitors, staff, and assets by proactively identifying and mitigating risks.
Demonstrate due diligence to regulatory authorities, insurers, and the public.
Increase confidence in your venue, reassuring patrons that safety is a priority.
Avoid financial and reputational consequences of non-compliance.

For organisations, ensuring compliance can be complex, requiring detailed risk assessments, operational planning, and documentation. This is where ANI Group can make a real difference.
