Beyond the checklist: Strengthening Martyn’s Law preparedness
Martyn’s Law is reshaping security expectations for UK venues, requiring proportionate measures that strengthen preparedness against terrorist and mass-casualty threats. While much focus falls on training, evacuation plans and access control, one critical factor is often overlooked - whether first responders can communicate reliably inside a building during a crisis. Modern construction frequently creates hidden dead zones that only become apparent in an emergency, causing delays, miscommunication and avoidable harm. Passing an inspection offers limited assurance when systems degrade over time or buildings evolve.
This session will show how continuous monitoring and proactive communication readiness close this gap, helping venues embed true resilience rather than relying on one-off compliance checks. By integrating communications into venue safety strategies, operators can demonstrate due diligence, reduce liability and align with the core principles of Martyn’s Law.
Attendees will learn why communication failures persist even in seemingly compliant venues, gain a practical framework for strengthening resilience, and see real examples of how hidden risks have impacted incident outcomes. For the critical communications industry, this shift highlights the need for continuous, integrated readiness solutions that support modern venue safety and uphold public trust in the era of Martyn’s Law.
