Quick answer
The Martyn's Law Awareness Check is a free quiz from SPS Security that helps venue operators, site managers and duty holders test their general awareness of practical security readiness themes — including role clarity, procedures, escalation, visitor management and out-of-hours resilience. It takes under 3 minutes and gives an immediate awareness score with a next-step suggestion. This is not accredited training, advice of any kind or proof of compliance. For a detailed venue-specific assessment, use the full Readiness Review instead. SPS supports venues across Hull, Leeds, Grimsby, Doncaster, Sheffield, York, Scunthorpe, Lincoln and the wider Yorkshire and Lincolnshire region.
About this tool: information only, not advice
This is a collection of publicly available information about Martyn's Law (the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025), drawn from GOV.UK, the Home Office and ProtectUK, to help organisations think about how they might prepare. It is not advice of any kind: not legal, security, compliance or professional advice. It does not decide whether your premises or event are in scope, or whether you comply. SPS Security does not provide Martyn's Law advice or consultancy. Any scores, summaries or points to consider are general prompts based on your own answers, not recommendations. Always check the official guidance and take your own legal or professional advice before making decisions. SPS Security accepts no liability for decisions made using this information.

About SPS Security

How does this differ from the full Readiness Review?
This awareness check is a light-touch quiz that tests general knowledge of protective security themes. It takes about 2 minutes, gives a simple score and points you toward next steps. It does not assess your venue's specific procedures, controls or compliance position.
The Martyn's Law Readiness Review is a comprehensive venue-specific assessment that evaluates your tier, procedures, physical security, staff training, documentation and out-of-hours resilience. It produces a summary of general prompts based on your answers.
Which should you use?
- • Use this awareness check if you want a quick gauge of general understanding across your team
- • Use the full readiness review for a more detailed set of general prompts based on publicly available information
