Does Martyn’s law apply to us?
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, also known as Martyn’s Law, received Royal Assent on Thursday 3 April 2025. The Government intends for there to be an implementation period of at least 24 months before the Act comes into force. This will allow the SIA’s new function to be established, whilst ensuring those responsible for premises and events in scope have sufficient time to understand their new obligations. This will enable them to plan and prepare appropriately.
This expert panel has been brought together to enable pro-manchester members to understand the far reaching implications of this legislation, understand how and if the Act applies to them, and what to do to ensure that they will comply with the Act when it comes into force.
