Martyn's Law · Standard Tier
Your Martyn's Law paperwork, done for you.
Pubs, restaurants, halls and venues that hold 200 or more people will need public protection procedures in place. Answer one online questionnaire and we prepare your Standard Tier pack. No software to learn, no calls needed.
The key dates
Are you in scope?
The tier depends on how many people you reasonably expect on your premises at the same time, not on what kind of venue you run.
Under 200 people
Not in scope
No legal duty under Martyn's Law, though good practice still helps.
200 to 799 people
Standard Tier: we handle this
You need simple, low-cost procedures for an attack, a named Responsible Person and a notification to the SIA. No physical security measures are required.

Questions
When does Martyn's Law start?
It became law on 3 April 2025. The Home Office expects it to come into force in spring 2027. The exact date will be set by Parliament and announced in advance.
Do I have to tell anyone my venue is in scope?
Yes. Once the law starts, Standard Tier venues must notify the Security Industry Authority (SIA) within three months. The SIA will open its online notification system nearer the start date, and your pack explains what to do.
How do I know my capacity?
Use the number of people you reasonably expect on the premises at the same time at your busiest, staff included. Your premises licence or fire risk assessment is a good starting point.
Do I need to buy security equipment?
Not for the Standard Tier. The duty is about having sensible procedures and a team that knows them, not physical measures.
Will I need to speak to anyone?
No. Everything runs through the questionnaire and email. If something in your answers is unclear, we will email you a quick question.
How long does it take?
Your pack arrives by email within 3 working days of payment and a completed questionnaire.
Is this a guarantee of compliance?
No one can honestly guarantee that. We prepare your documents in line with the official guidance; your Responsible Person must put them into practice and keep them up to date.
