Managing your responsibilities should not be complicated
Martyn's Law introduces important responsibilities for qualifying premises and events. For many Responsible Persons, understanding what needs to be assessed, recorded, communicated and reviewed can feel complex.
The Martyn's Law Workbook provides a structured process. Instead of starting with a blank document or trying to interpret requirements independently, you are guided through a series of straightforward questions.
The information you enter once is then used throughout the system to help create your assessments, plans, actions and records.
Enter information once. Use it across your protective response arrangements.
Your premises details, contacts, occupancy and site information flow into every plan and record that needs them — so nothing is typed twice, and nothing falls out of step.
Without a system
Documents scattered across drives and inboxes. No clear picture of what is outstanding. Details re-typed into every new plan. Reviews remembered — or not.
With the Workbook
One structured record per premises. Actions with owners and dates. Plans that update themselves when the facts change. A dashboard that tells you what needs attention.
Five steps, from where you are now to arrangements you can evidence
Assess. Plan. Act. Review. Demonstrate. Each step builds on the one before it, using information you have already given.
-
1
Tell us about your premises
Enter the core information about your organisation, premises, Responsible Person, occupancy and activities. You enter it once.
-
2
Complete your assessment
Work through guided questions relevant to your premises and service tier — one at a time, in plain English, saving as you go.
-
3
Identify actions
The system records the improvements and actions arising from your assessment, each with a priority, an owner and a target date.
-
4
Create your Protective Response arrangements
Build practical response plans — evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication — from the information already in the system.
-
5
Review and maintain
Use the dashboard to monitor outstanding actions, overdue items, review dates and changes affecting your premises.
See what needs attention immediately
The Martyn's Law Workbook dashboard gives the Responsible Person a clear picture of the current status of their premises.
Instead of searching through paperwork, you can immediately see:
- Assessment status
- Plan completion
- Outstanding actions
- High-priority actions
- Overdue actions
- Upcoming reviews
- Recently completed activity
- Evidence held
High-priority and overdue items link directly to the relevant action, so you move immediately from identification to resolution.
Everything in one place
One structured record per premises — the assessment, the plans, the actions, the evidence and the review history, all connected.
Guided Premises Assessment
A structured assessment helps you identify what is relevant to your premises without needing specialist technical knowledge.
Protective Response Plans
Create and maintain practical response arrangements covering the actions people may need to take during an incident.
Action Management
Record the action, its priority, who is responsible, the target date, its status and the evidence that it was completed.
High-Priority Visibility
Important outstanding actions are highlighted on the dashboard and link straight through to the action itself.
Overdue Monitoring
See immediately which actions have passed their target completion date, and who they sit with.
Review Management
Record review dates and receive prompts, so your arrangements stay current rather than drifting out of date.
Document Management
Store supporting documents and evidence against the assessment, measure or action they belong to.
Centralised Premises Information
Maintain common premises information once, rather than entering the same details into several different plans.
Communication Planning
Develop and maintain arrangements for communicating with staff, visitors, contractors and relevant organisations.
Protective Response Procedures
Practical procedures for evacuation, invacuation, lockdown, communication, incident response and emergency co-ordination.
Management Dashboard
An immediate overview of the protective preparedness status of the premises, in one screen.
Secure by Design
HTTPS throughout, role-based access, secure file storage and audit logging — because this is sensitive organisational information.

Not sure which applies to you?
Find out in two minutesDesigned for the people who actually have to manage it
The Martyn's Law Workbook has been designed around the Responsible Person rather than around complex security terminology. You do not need to start with a blank document.
Answer straightforward questions
The system guides you through each stage, and explains any term that might be unfamiliar without taking you out of the assessment.
Enter information once
Common information automatically populates the relevant areas of the platform, so the same detail is never typed twice.
Save and return
Complete assessments progressively rather than needing to finish everything in one session. Your progress is kept.
See what remains outstanding
Progress indicators clearly show incomplete areas, section by section, so you always know how far through you are.
Know what to do next
Actions are displayed according to status and priority. Completed work stays visually quiet; outstanding work stands out.
Keep everything current
Reviews can be scheduled and previous activity retained, so your arrangements reflect the premises as it is today.
More than just a set of documents
Protective preparedness is not a one-off exercise. Circumstances change. Staff change. Buildings change. Events occur. Actions are completed and new actions arise.
The Martyn's Law Workbook provides an ongoing management system rather than simply generating static documents.
It enables organisations to demonstrate
- When assessments were completed
- When arrangements were reviewed
- What actions were identified
- Who was responsible
- When actions were completed
- What remains outstanding
- What supporting information has been retained
Assess → Plan → Act → Review → Demonstrate. Each stage leaves a dated record, so the picture you present is the picture you actually have.
One system for every premises
Organisations managing multiple locations can create and maintain individual protective response arrangements while retaining central management visibility.
Know which premises are up to date, which require attention and where priority actions remain outstanding — without chasing spreadsheets or individual documents.

What is Martyn's Law?
Martyn's Law is the commonly used name for the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. It was introduced to improve preparedness and public protection at certain premises and events in the UK.
The law requires those responsible for qualifying premises and events to take appropriate steps to reduce the risk of physical harm if a terrorist attack occurs at their premises or nearby.
The requirements are proportionate to the size and circumstances of the premises. Qualifying premises are generally divided into Standard Tier and Enhanced Tier, with additional requirements applying to larger premises and qualifying events.
The aim is not to predict or prevent every possible incident, but to make sure organisations have considered what they can reasonably do to protect people and respond effectively.
Who is responsible?
Under Martyn's Law, the Responsible Person is the individual, company or organisation that has control of the premises in connection with the activity that brings the premises within scope of the Act.
In many cases this will be the organisation that operates the premises. For example, a company leasing and operating a shop would normally be the Responsible Person for that premises.
Tasks can be delegated to managers, employees, advisers or other people, but the Responsible Person cannot simply delegate away their overall legal responsibility.
Where an organisation is the Responsible Person for an Enhanced Tier premises or qualifying event, it must also designate an appropriate senior individual to ensure that the organisation complies with its requirements. In some situations there may be more than one Responsible Person operating within the same location, and the Act contains requirements for appropriate co-ordination and co-operation.
Which tier applies to my premises?
The tier will usually depend on the greatest number of people, including staff, that can reasonably be expected to be present at the same time, from time to time, together with the other qualifying criteria in the Act. As a general guide:
- Fewer than 200 people — the premises will generally fall outside Martyn's Law, although the other criteria and any applicable exceptions should still be considered.
- 200–799 people — Standard Tier — if the other qualifying criteria are met, the premises will normally fall within the Standard Tier.
- 800 or more people — Enhanced Tier — if the other qualifying criteria are met, the premises will normally fall within the Enhanced Tier and additional requirements will apply.
There are important exceptions. Qualifying places of worship and premises used for childcare, primary or secondary education, or further education remain within the Standard Tier even where 800 or more people may be present. Qualifying events are treated differently and are subject to Enhanced Tier requirements where the relevant criteria are met.
Capacity alone does not determine whether Martyn's Law applies. The type and use of the premises, the number of people reasonably expected to be present, exclusions and special provisions all need to be considered. For definitive information about whether your premises or event is within scope, you should refer to the current statutory guidance issued under the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025.
Do I need security experience?
No. The Martyn's Law Workbook is designed to guide ordinary Responsible Persons through a structured process. Questions are asked in plain English, one at a time, with a short explanation available wherever a term might be unfamiliar.
Can I save my progress?
Yes. Your work is saved as you go, so you can complete an assessment across several sittings rather than needing to finish everything in one session. The dashboard shows you exactly what is still outstanding when you come back.
Can more than one person manage a premises?
Yes. Standard Tier includes 1 user and Enhanced Tier includes 5 users users, with additional users at £5 per user, per year. Roles let you give someone the ability to contribute to assigned work, or to view records without editing them.
Can I manage multiple premises?
Yes. Multiple premises can sit under one organisational account, each with its own Responsible Person, assessment and plans, while an organisation-wide dashboard shows which premises are up to date and where priority or overdue actions remain outstanding.
What happens when an action becomes overdue?
It appears clearly on the management dashboard, flagged and linked directly to the action itself, so you can move straight from noticing it to resolving it.
Does the platform guarantee legal compliance?
No, and you should be wary of any system that says it does. The Martyn's Law Workbook is designed to help organisations structure, record and manage their protective preparedness arrangements. Organisations remain responsible for ensuring that the measures and procedures they implement are appropriate to their circumstances and applicable legal requirements.
