On the 15th of June, Trident Manor Training Academy will be holding a free online lunchtime briefing discussing the impact of Martyn’s Law on the cultural and heritage sectors.

Martyn’s Law aims to improve public safety by introducing proportionate security requirements for publicly accessible venues. While the legislation is intended to strengthen protection against terrorism, it may also bring new responsibilities for venue operators, particularly those managing historic buildings, volunteer‑led organisations, or spaces with open access and limited resources.

The session will provide an overview of the legislation, outline potential implications for governance and operations, and highlight the key issues organisations should be aware of as the policy landscape develops. Attendees will gain practical insight to support early awareness, informed planning, and balanced decision‑making that protects both people and the character of cultural and heritage spaces.

This briefing is designed for anyone with security or safety responsibilities for public-facing cultural or heritage sites. It will also be helpful for members of senior leadership teams to understand the potential implications for whoever is identified as the designated 'Responsible Person'.
