What is Martyns’s Law?
Martyn’s Law, formally known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, is expected to come into force during 2027. The legislation will require those responsible for publicly accessible premises to consider the risk of terrorism and implement proportionate measures to help protect staff, visitors and members of the public.
For many schools, colleges, healthcare facilities and commercial premises, this will include reviewing emergency procedures and ensuring effective lockdown arrangements are in place. Integrated access control, emergency lockdown systems, CCTV and staff communication systems can all play an important role in supporting a rapid and coordinated response during a security incident.
Mere UK designs, installs and maintains integrated lockdown systems that help organisations strengthen their security, improve emergency preparedness and support compliance with the requirements of Martyn’s Law.
