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 recommendation. This is not accredited training, legal advice 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.

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 detailed, personalised report with priority actions.

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 if you want to assess your venue's actual compliance position and get a detailed action plan
