📋 The Department for Education has published non-statutory explainer guidance on Martyn’s Law (the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) for education and childcare settings in England.
📏 Premises that can reasonably expect 200 or more people at once, including staff, pupils, volunteers and visitors, are in scope if they meet the other criteria
🏫 Childcare, schools and some further education settings are in the standard tier, even where 800 or more people are expected
👥 The “responsible person” is set by law and can’t be delegated. The guidance expects it to be the governing body, trust, registered provider or local authority, depending on the setting
🛡️ At the standard tier, the responsible person must notify the Security Industry Authority and, so far as is reasonably practicable, ensure appropriate procedures for evacuation, lockdown and communication
