The Martyn's Law Register in Action

What your leaders see, how a steward trains on their phone, and the records you can show when asked.

Read the transcript

Under Martyn's Law, venues need procedures to protect the public, and people who know their part in them. The Martyn's Law Register and Academy train your people, show who is ready, and keep the records.

Leaders and managers open one screen, which answers a simple question. Are we ready? Every premises and every person, in three colours. Ready, due soon, or not ready. Anything that needs action rises to the top, with one button to deal with it. Open a venue to see exactly who is missing what, including agency and casual staff. Before an event, upload the shift list, and everyone on it is checked for the day itself. Nine people are not cleared for Sunday's match, so their training goes out in one click.

Drills come from a ready-made library. Plan them, log them, and spot any procedure that has not been tested. When you need to show your work, generate a dated evidence pack. It is locked, and signed by your designated senior individual.

Every member of staff gets their own login, including agency and casual workers. So Tom, an agency steward, can train on his phone before he arrives on site. He sees one clear message, and one button to start. Short courses from the Martyn's Law Academy sit alongside the free Home Office training. When he finishes, he is ready to work, and cleared for Sunday's shift. And his manager sees it straight away.

THE GAP

The Awareness Course Is Free. Proving Your Staff Know Your Building Is Not.

The Home Office's ACT Awareness e-learning costs nothing, and every venue should use it. It teaches people to spot and report a threat. It cannot tell a steward at your stadium which doors to close, who makes the call to invacuate or where your staff gather.

Martyn's Law asks whether your public protection procedures work in your building and whether your people know their part in them. At the enhanced tier you also need to show the training behind them.

So we load the free course for you, then build the part that cannot be free: training on your procedures, for each role, with the records to prove it.

Your building, not a generic one

Routes, muster points, lockdown and who decides, taught from your own procedures and site plans.

Every shift, every agency worker

Casual and agency staff change week to week. Each one trains before arriving and is checked against the shift list.

A record your senior individual can stand behind

Training, drills and dated evidence in one place, ready for the person who is accountable.

THE LAW IN BRIEF

What Martyn's Law Asks of Your Venues

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 applies to premises and events where people gather. The duties are expected to come into force in spring 2027, and the SIA will confirm the date in advance.

200 TO 799 PEOPLE

Standard tier

  • Notify the SIA that the premises is in scope
  • Have public protection procedures for evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication
  • Make sure staff with a role know the procedures and their part in them
800 OR MORE PEOPLE

Enhanced tier and qualifying events

  • Everything in the standard tier
  • Public protection measures, and a document of compliance kept up to date with the SIA
  • A designated senior individual where the responsible person is an organisation
  • Training needs and evidence of training documented

There is no statutory training duty in the Act, but the guidance says it is likely to be difficult to show your procedures are appropriate if staff are not informed or trained. Our Martyn's Law training guide explains it in full. General information, not legal advice.

FOR YOUR STAFF

Agency and Casual Staff Train Before They Arrive

Everyone gets their own login, including agency and casual staff. They see the courses their role needs and whether they are cleared for their next shift, and finish anything missing on their phone.

  • Courses assigned automatically from each person's duty role at each venue
  • "Ready to work" or "Not ready yet", with one button to fix it
  • Reminders 30 days and 7 days before training expires

QUESTIONS

Martyn's Law Training Questions

Is Martyn's Law training mandatory?

No. The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 has no statutory training duty for either tier. The Home Office's statutory guidance does say that staff with a role in your public protection procedures must be made aware of them and their role, and that without training it is likely to be difficult to show your procedures are appropriate. For enhanced tier premises, training needs and evidence of training should be documented.

When does Martyn's Law come into force?

The Security Industry Authority expects the duties to come into force in spring 2027 and will confirm the exact date in advance. Premises already in scope will then have three months to notify the SIA.

Is the ACT Awareness course really free?

Yes. ACT Awareness e-learning from Counter Terrorism Policing is free on ProtectUK, and organisations can request it as a package for their own learning platform. We load it into your Capytech LMS and track it alongside the courses we build for you.

Will the Register make our venues compliant?

No product can do that. Only the SIA decides whether premises comply. The Register gives you an up to date record of who is trained for their role, which drills you have run and dated evidence packs your senior individual has signed, so you can show what you have done.

Do you write our procedures or survey our venues?

No. Capytech is a training and technology company. Your public protection procedures come from your own risk assessment, or from a security specialist you appoint. We turn those procedures into training for each role and set up the Register around them.

Can agency and casual staff use it?

Yes. Agency and casual staff get their own logins, so they can complete their training on their phone before they arrive. When you upload a shift list, the Register shows who is cleared to work and sends anyone missing training straight to the right course.

Does it work for standard tier venues?

Yes. Standard tier premises need public protection procedures and staff who know their role in them. The same training and Register work for a single 300 capacity venue or a group of stadiums.

Can the courses be in other languages?

Yes. Courses can be produced in the languages your staff speak, with every version updated together when your procedures change.

Where is our data held?

On the Capytech LMS, hosted in the UK on AWS in London with daily backups. Capytech UK Ltd is Cyber Essentials certified, and single sign-on with Microsoft or Google is available.
