Resilience First is delighted to bring together our senior executive members to a Martyn’s Law update dinner discussion with Shaun Hipgrave, Director of Protect and Prepare, Homeland Security Group, UK Government Home Office.
The much anticipated Martyn’s Law is set to become law in 2024, and as businesses get ready to comply with the new requirements, we look forward to hearing the latest from Shaun on what businesses of all sizes should be considering and begin implementing now to enable a smooth transition towards the legislation and ensure compliance.
Martyn’s Law was long campaigned for by Figen Murray, mother of Martyn Hett, who was tragically killed alongside 21 others in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack in 2017, upon the realisation that more was needed to be done to compel businesses to protect the public from the impact of terrorist attacks on venues welcoming the public.
The Bill will require certain venues to fulfil necessary but proportionate steps according to their capacity to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack and reduce harm. Through Martyn’s Law, premises will be better prepared and ready to respond in the event of a terrorist attack. Simple steps save lives.
As our world continues to exude an uncertain and complex landscape, this private roundtable dinner discussion will also allow for a more candid conversation around the security concerns facing global businesses today.
This dinner is kindly hosted by Controlled Events and is by invitation only. For more information, please contact Beena Chester on contact@resiliencefirst.org
