Quick answer
SPS Security's free Martyn's Law Readiness Review brings together publicly available information from GOV.UK, the Home Office and ProtectUK to help venues think about how they might prepare. It covers themes such as tiers, security procedures, lockdown and invacuation, staff training, physical controls and documentation, and turns your answers into a summary of general prompts. It takes 3–5 minutes. It is information only, not advice of any kind, and SPS Security does not provide Martyn's Law advice. SPS provides security services to 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.
Martyn's Law Readiness Review
This comprehensive readiness review brings together publicly available information to help venues organise their thinking about Martyn's Law readiness themes. It does not assess compliance. It is more thorough than our awareness check, covering tier assessment, procedures, physical security, staff training and documentation.
