The Safer Schools Podcast – Episode 15: What Does Martyn’s Law Mean for Schools?

Martyn's Law, officially the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, received Royal Assent on the 3rd of April 2025, but what does this mean for schools in practice?

Join us for Episode 15 of The Safer Schools Podcast as we welcome special guest Lisa Broad of Lisa Broad Consulting to discuss everything that schools need to know about the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (a.k.a. Martyn’s Law), including:

  • What is Martyn’s Law and why is this legislation so important for the education sector?
  • What does Martyn’s Law mean for schools in practice?
  • Evacuation, invacuation, lockdown, and communication; and
  • Training and drills.

We also discuss lots examples throughout, and signpost to useful guidance documents.

For me, Martyn’s Law, yes is about terrorism, but actually… it’s about making our education settings as safe as they possibly can be from any threat
