Martyn’s Law (Protect Duty) Awareness Training
Figen Murray, the mother of Martyn Hett, who tragically lost his life in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, led a campaign that resulted in the draft of Martyn’s Law to enhance safety.
Martyn’s Law, also known as the “Protect Duty” (currently drafted as Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2023), is a proposed piece of legislation in the United Kingdom aimed at enhancing security measures at public venues and spaces.
Our Martyn’s Law (Protect Duty) Awareness training course educates people on the principles and requirements of the Protect Duty legislation, emphasising the importance of risk assessment, implementation of security measures, and preparedness for potential terrorist threats to enhance public safety.
