The UK’s new Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, commonly known as Martyn’s Law, introduces mandatory security measures for public venues expecting 200 plus attendees, including schools, universities, libraries, and leisure centres. Organisations have 24 months to comply, requiring robust preparedness plans and budget considerations. This presents a timely opportunity to enhance safety through:
- CCTV and environmental sensors
- IoT (Internet of Things)
- Access control systems
- Emergency alert systems
- Visitor and staff tracking
- Cloud-based communication and alert platforms
- Incident reporting software
- Digital sign-in systems
At Bechtle, we support public sector customers in this area and welcome conversations to explore improvements and understand current gaps. Our pre-sales team is available to assist with free, no obligation, expert advice and support.
