Course Overview
The Martyn’s Law Awareness Webinar has been designed for organisations wanting a clear, practical and professional introduction to the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, more commonly known as Martyn’s Law or the Protect Duty.
With increasing focus on public safety, preparedness and organisational responsibility, many businesses and organisations are now trying to understand what the legislation means for them, what proportionate measures may look like and where they should begin. This webinar provides a straightforward overview without unnecessary complexity or technical jargon.
