Crowded places guidance for event safety
The The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 forms part of the Government’s wider counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST.
Commonly known as 'Martyn's Law' is intended to improve protective security and organisational preparedness across the UK.
It was granted Royal Assent on 3 April, but is not yet in force. The Home Office will publish statutory guidance during the 24 month implementation period.
You may wish to begin considering these requirements when planning future events.
The new Act requires certain premises and events to ensure steps have been taken to prepare for potential terrorist attacks and get ready to help keep people safe in the event of an attack. In addition, certain larger premises and events will be required to consider and, where appropriate, take steps to reduce their vulnerability to acts of terrorism.
