Understanding Martyn’s Law

• A clear explanation of which buildings, halls, and events fall under the new legal duties.
• Best Practice for Community Buildings outside the scope of this legislation (under 200 capacity)
• Standard Tier Requirements (200–799 capacity)
• Realistic, proportionate methods to improve safety in small spaces with limited resources.
• Enhanced Tier (800+ capacity)
• Recognising when your event is “Enhanced Tier”
• What reducing risk and meeting compliance might look like
