Since the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, a consultation was run to amend and improve the existing Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill.  

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, more commonly known as ‘Martyn’s Law’ in tribute to Martyn Hett who died in the Manchester Arena bombing, has now received Royal Assent.

Although there is an implementation period before it is required, many event organisers are choosing to review their policies and procedures now.

For ‘standard tier’ events (over 200 people) organisers will need to consider the potential risk and impact of a terror attack in their event planning, and specifically set out how they will respond to such an attack.

In the case of ‘enhanced tier’ events, which are those attracting over 800 people, they will also need to implement measures to reduce the event’s vulnerability to an attack. Such measures could include:

Ensuring your security team can easily spot activity and behaviour that may indicate that an attack is possible.

Our two tier units give you raised sight lines over the crowd and provide a hub for your teams. They have been used at Notting Hill Carnival, Battersea Fireworks, Brighton Half Marathon, and in Parliament Square for demonstrations, and can be deployed with high speed internet and power supplied.

Providing radio communications to all team members to enable them to communicate effectively with each other.  Our fleet of Motorola two-way radios gives you peace of mind that you can contact your team all across your site.

Making clear announcements to the public to enable them to quickly move to a safe space. Our public address systems can be zoned, muted, managed from within your Control unit or activated remotely off-site, programmed with pre-recorded announcements to ensure clarity of message, and operated from a touch screen.
