Protective Preparedness for Education Settings Webinar
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, also known as Martyn's Law, was included in the King's Speech on 17 July 2024 as part of the programme of legislation in this Parliamentary session.
The bill was introduced to Parliament on 12 September 2024. The bill will ensure that certain premises and events are better prepared and ready to respond to a terrorist attack.
The bill establishes a tiered approach, linked to the activity that takes place at qualifying premises or events and the number of individuals it is reasonable to expect may be present at the same time.
It will require those responsible for certain premises and events to take steps to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack and reduce harm in the event of one occurring.
You can find more information about the bill here.
The Department for Education (DfE) in partnership with the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) invite you to a webinar relevant to those working in education settings.
The DfE Counter Terrorism Protect and Prepare Team will provide you with an overview and update on the proposed Protection of Premises Bill, also known as 'Martyn's Law', and its implications for the education sector. NaCTSO will also provide a briefing on how to consider terrorism protection and preparedness in your setting.

Please note: You only need to attend one webinar; the same information will be shared in both.
