A guide only, based on the Act and Home Office guidance. Your tier depends on the full rules, including exclusions and premises within larger premises.
What the law asks of standard tier venues
No legal requirement for building works or new equipment. The standard tier is about clear procedures, staff who know their role, and notifying the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
Getting people out safely when the threat is inside, using the right exits.
PROCEDURE 02
Invacuation
Bringing people into a safer part of the building when the danger is outside.
PROCEDURE 03
Lockdown
Securing doors and entrances quickly to stop a threat getting in.
PROCEDURE 04
Communication
Warning everyone fast, including toilets, kitchens and outdoor areas.

Questions venues ask
When does Martyn's Law come into force?+
The main duties are expected to come into force in spring 2027, after an implementation period of at least 24 months. The Home Office has already published statutory guidance so venues can prepare.
Does Martyn's Law apply to my venue?+
It applies to premises where it is reasonable to expect 200 or more people at the same time, and to certain public events of 800 or more. Use the free checker to see which tier you are likely to fall into.
Do I need to make changes to my building?+
There is no legal requirement to make physical alterations or buy equipment at the standard tier. Standard tier premises need sensible procedures and informed staff, although the guidance says simple changes, such as how doors are locked, may sometimes be reasonably practicable. Enhanced tier premises may need physical measures where reasonably practicable.
Is written documentation required?+
Not for standard tier premises, although recording what you have in place is good practice and is the easiest way to show what you did. Enhanced tier premises must document their compliance and submit it to the SIA.
Are you approved by the Home Office or the SIA?+
No. No provider is approved or endorsed by the Home Office or the SIA for Martyn's Law. We are an independent business that helps you prepare and record your procedures, based on the official guidance.
Who is responsible for compliance?+
The responsible person for the premises, usually whoever controls the venue. Our pack helps you meet your duties, but responsibility stays with you.
What if I have more than one venue?+
Each premises is assessed separately. Our multi-site pricing covers groups, chains and portfolios. Get in touch for a quote.
