The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is looking for premises and events to volunteer to help test and develop its systems and processes as it prepares to regulate Martyn’s Law, which is expected to come into force in Spring 2027.
Martyn’s Law, named in memory of Martyn Hett, one of 22 people killed in the Manchester Arena attack, aims to keep people safe by ensuring that publicly accessible premises and events are better prepared for, and protected, in the event of a terrorist attack.
The SIA is inviting premises and events to take part in a pilot on assessment and inspection or to help test the digital service. Taking part will give those in scope an opportunity to feedback to the SIA prior to launch and to shape the way Martyn’s Law is regulated.
Anyone interested should sign up by the end of May 2026. It’s also not too late to join one of the SIA’s webinars about its new draft statutory guidance.
