Brent Council is preparing for the implementation of Martyn's Law, officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill. The law aims to enhance public safety by ensuring better preparedness for, and protection against, terrorist attacks at public venues.
The Audit and Standards Advisory Committee recently received an update on the Emergency Planning and Resilience team's work, including preparations for Martyn's Law, according to the Emergency Planning and Resilience - General Update Report.
The legislation will place requirements on those responsible for certain premises and events, with obligations that vary depending on venue capacity. The Civic Centre will fall within the top tier of the proposed framework. The Emergency Planning and Resilience team is supporting the Sales and Marketing Manager in reviewing current arrangements and identifying necessary improvements to ensure future compliance. This includes delivering training opportunities and engaging with key suppliers involved in on-site events.
