What is Martyn’s Law training?
Martyn’s Law training helps organisations and their workers understand the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 and the practical steps required to improve preparedness for terrorist attacks.
The legislation, commonly known as Martyn’s Law, establishes requirements for qualifying premises and events. Under current statutory guidance, standard tier premises generally include qualifying premises where 200–799 individuals may reasonably be expected to be present at the same time. Enhanced tier premises generally have 800 or more individuals present, subject to specific provisions and exceptions within the Act.
Learners explore the purpose and scope of Martyn’s Law, responsible persons, the role of the Security Industry Authority (SIA), public protection procedures and the additional requirements applying to enhanced tier premises and qualifying events.
The course supports organisations in preparing staff to respond appropriately if a terrorist attack occurs or is suspected.

Why Is Martyn’s Law training important?
Martyn’s Law is intended to strengthen preparedness and public protection at qualifying premises and events. Effective training helps workers understand what they may need to do if they suspect an attack is occurring or about to occur.
The Act requires appropriate public protection procedures, so far as reasonably practicable, covering evacuation, moving people to safer locations, preventing people entering or leaving where appropriate, and communicating information. Enhanced tier premises and qualifying events have additional requirements concerning public protection measures, documentation and risk reduction.
Training helps translate these organisational procedures into practical workplace actions. Staff who are familiar with their organisation’s arrangements are better positioned to respond consistently during an emergency.
For employers and responsible persons, Martyn’s Law awareness training can also form part of a wider programme of protective security, induction, emergency planning and compliance preparation.
Is Martyn’s Law training a legal requirement in the UK?
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 is law, having received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025, but its substantive requirements are not yet in force. The SIA currently expects the Act to come into force in spring 2027, with the exact commencement date to be confirmed.
The Act does not prescribe completion of a particular named or accredited “Martyn’s Law course”. Instead, responsible persons must meet the statutory requirements applying to qualifying premises and events. This includes ensuring appropriate public protection procedures are in place and ensuring, so far as reasonably practicable, that people working at the premises or event are familiar with those procedures.
Training is therefore an important practical way of helping workers understand relevant procedures and supporting organisational preparedness, but employers should not treat completion of an online course alone as proof of full compliance.

Martyn’s Law training FAQ?
What is Martyn’s Law?
Martyn’s Law is the commonly used name for the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. It establishes legal requirements intended to improve preparedness and public protection at qualifying premises and events. Requirements vary according to factors including the use of the premises and the number of individuals reasonably expected to be present.
Who needs Martyn’s Law training?
Martyn’s Law awareness training is relevant to responsible persons, managers and people working at qualifying premises or events, including employees, contractors and volunteers. The statutory guidance defines staff broadly and requires responsible persons to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, that people working at qualifying premises or events are familiar with relevant public protection procedures.
Is Martyn’s Law training a legal requirement?
The Act does not require workers to obtain a specific commercially provided Martyn’s Law training certificate. However, once the relevant provisions are in force, responsible persons must comply with the Act, including requirements concerning public protection procedures and worker familiarity with them. Appropriate training and instruction can help organisations meet these responsibilities.
When does Martyn’s Law come into force?
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025. The SIA states that it is expected to come into force in spring 2027, but the exact commencement date has not yet been confirmed. Organisations can use the implementation period to assess whether they are in scope and prepare appropriately.
What are the standard and enhanced tiers under Martyn’s Law?
Under current statutory guidance, qualifying premises where 200–799 people may reasonably be expected at the same time generally fall within the standard tier. Qualifying premises where 800 or more people may reasonably be expected generally fall within the enhanced tier. Special provisions apply to certain premises, including some educational settings and places of worship.
What procedures are required under Martyn’s Law?
Qualifying premises and events must have appropriate public protection procedures in place, so far as reasonably practicable. These address evacuation, moving people to safer areas, preventing people entering or leaving where appropriate, and communicating information. Enhanced tier premises and qualifying events are subject to additional requirements concerning public protection measures and documentation.
How often should Martyn’s Law training be completed?
The Act does not set a universal expiry period for a Martyn’s Law training certificate. Organisations should keep workers sufficiently familiar with their relevant public protection procedures. Refresher training may therefore be appropriate when procedures, premises, responsibilities or risks change, or when an employer’s training needs assessment identifies a need to refresh knowledge.
How long does the Martyn’s Law Online Training Course take?
The Caredemy Martyn’s Law Online Training Course takes approximately one hour to complete. Learners can work through the course online and complete the assessment before receiving their digital certificate. This makes the course suitable for individual learning, staff induction, refresher training and wider organisational awareness programmes.
