- Common questions

Martyn's Law, answered

What is Martyn's Law compliance software?

It turns your obligations under Martyn's Law, the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, into structured checklists, training records and evidence capture, with audit trails per venue. Serve First documents readiness as you go, so duty of care is evidenced rather than assumed.

What does Martyn's Law require, and who does it apply to?

It applies to qualifying premises and events expecting 200+ people. Standard-tier sites (200 to 799) put public protection procedures in place and notify the Security Industry Authority. Enhanced-tier sites (800 or more) also document protective measures. Serve First turns each duty into a guided checklist with evidence captured.

When does Martyn's Law come into force?

It received Royal Assent in April 2025, with an implementation period of at least 24 months, so enforcement is expected no earlier than 2027. That lead-in is time to get ready, and Serve First helps you build the procedures, training records and evidence now, so you can show readiness when the duties take effect.

Can we demonstrate readiness on request?

Yes. Audit trails show exactly what was done and when, per venue, so you can demonstrate Martyn's Law readiness on request rather than scrambling to assemble proof.

Does it keep training records per site?

Yes. Staff training records are kept per venue, so you can show who was trained, on what and when, across every site you run.

Does it work across multiple venues?

Serve First is built for multi-site operations. Every venue reports into one operating picture, so you can see readiness and compliance across them all and address what is outstanding.
