This online roundtable will take a look at how public sector culture and leisure is preparing for the introduction of Martyn’s Law – officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 – which is expected to come into effect in April 2027.

Martyn’s Law will see the introduction of three key categories of protective measures based on the size and nature of the premises or event: Standard Tier, Enhanced Tier, and Qualifying Events.

During the session we will hear from two CLOA Executive Members:-

• Chair Dan Buck, Corporate Director, Lee Valley Regional Park Authority and his colleagues, where they have venues in all three categories.
• Rob Campbell, Managing Director Culture & Heritage Services, Bath & North East Somerset Council who will talk about how are preparing at the Roman Baths, as a high volume visitor attraction.

Our associate Sponsor Blake Morgan will also be participating to cover the legal implications of Martyn’s Law for local authorities.

Finally, there will be input from the National Counter Terrorism Security Office, a police-hosted unit that supports the UK government focusing on the threat posed from terrorism and ways venues and public places can improve their counter terrorism security and readiness.

The session will run between 1000-1200 and you can register to attend here.
