If your village hall, church, club or small theatre can have 200 or more people in at once, Martyn’s Law (the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) will ask the responsible person to notify the Security Industry Authority and to have evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication procedures that volunteers know.

This kit gives a committee the working documents for that, in plain English, so the paperwork is ready to adapt and keep up to date when the guidance is final.

Formats: PDF, Word and spreadsheet files. Edit in Word, Google Docs, Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice. One-off purchase, no subscription.

What is included

  • Capacity and Scope WorksheetFour questions to check whether you are in scope, the counting methods the Home Office describes (fire occupancy, past attendance, seats, tickets), a peak headcount record and a checklist for the SIA notification.
  • Public Protection Procedures TemplateFill-in sections for all four procedures, roles, 999 calls and review, with short fictional examples for a hall, a church and a club. Includes a one-page Hirer’s Procedure Summary for your hire agreement.
  • Requirements and Evidence ChecklistEach standard tier duty, marked Law, Should or Could, with the paragraph it comes from.
  • Volunteer Briefing and Practice LogBriefings, practice runs and reviews, with next-due dates.

What it is not

  • It is a starter kit of templates to adapt and check against the official guidance. It does not decide whether you are in scope.
  • It is not legal advice, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Home Office or the SIA. It does not guarantee any inspection outcome.
  • It does not cover enhanced tier duties. The duties are not in force yet and the SIA’s own guidance is not final. Updates are free when it is.
