Martyn’s Law Consultants for UK Businesses, Event Organisers & Landlords

Expert Protect Duty Guidance from Aldermans Security Consultants

Martyn’s Law, also known as the Protect Duty, will place new legal responsibilities on UK businesses and organisations to take proportionate steps to reduce the risk of harm from terrorism.

For many organisations, the challenge is understanding what compliance actually looks like in practice — and how to meet the duty without unnecessary cost, disruption, or over-engineering.

Aldermans Consultants are recognised experts in providing Martyn’s Law guidance, Protect Duty support, and counter-terrorism risk management for businesses and organisations across the UK.

Aldermans Consultants specialise in helping organisations interpret and apply Martyn’s Law correctly. Our expertise is grounded in practical counter-terrorism experience and a clear understanding of regulatory and CTSA expectations.

We support UK businesses to:

  • Implement reasonable and proportionate protective measures
  • Demonstrate compliance to regulators, police, and licensing authorities

Our advice is always practical, defensible, and aligned with the intent of the legislation.

Protect Duty Support for Tier 1 and Tier 2 Premises

Martyn’s Law introduces a tiered approach, and misapplying the requirements is one of the biggest compliance risks.

For smaller premises and lower-risk events, Aldermans Consultants provide:

  • Staff awareness and Protect Duty training
  • Suspicious behaviour and hostile reconnaissance guidance
  • Run, Hide, Tell preparedness
  • Simple, proportionate documentation for assurance

Tier 2 (Enhanced Duty) Support

For larger venues and higher-risk environments, we deliver:

  • CTSA-aligned terrorism risk assessments
  • Tier 2 Protect Duty and security plans
  • Scenario-based training and exercising
  • ISO-style evidence registers
  • Formal Martyn’s Law assurance statements

This ensures businesses meet enhanced duties without exceeding what the law requires.

CTSA-Aligned, Regulator-Ready Compliance

Aldermans Consultants design Martyn’s Law solutions that stand up to scrutiny from:

  • Counter Terrorism Security Advisors (CTSAs)
  • Local authorities and licensing teams
  • Safety Advisory Groups (SAGs)
  • Boards, trustees, and senior leadership

All documentation is written to demonstrate:

  • Clear ownership and accountability
  • Evidence-based decision-making
  • Proportionate risk management
  • Review, testing, and continuous improvement

This is what regulators expect to see — and what Aldermans Consultants deliver.

Practical Counter-Terrorism Risk Management

Unlike generic consultancy approaches, Aldermans Consultants focus on realistic UK threat scenarios, not theoretical or exaggerated risks.

Our work is based on:

  • Credible terrorist methodologies
  • Hostile reconnaissance indicators
  • Lone-actor and low-sophistication attack profiles
  • Crowd-focused and publicly accessible environments

We use scenario-based training and exercises to ensure plans work in real life, not just on paper.

Martyn’s Law places responsibility squarely on the Responsible Person. Aldermans Consultants support senior leaders by providing:

  • Clear, defensible risk assessments
  • Governance frameworks aligned with Protect Duty expectations

We turn complex counter-terrorism requirements into clear leadership decisions.

martyns law advice and support

As former police officers now operating as independent security consultants, we offer an exceptional depth of strategic leadership and operational expertise that is difficult to replicate.

Having led the development of intelligence-driven strategies to prevent terrorist attacks, we possess a sophisticated understanding of evolving threat landscapes, risk management, protective security, and organisational resilience.

Our experience extends beyond prevention to the command and coordination of complex responses to terrorist incidents, where decisive leadership, multi-agency collaboration, and effective crisis management are critical to protecting lives and maintaining business continuity.

This combination of strategic foresight and operational credibility enables us to provide organisations with authoritative, practical advice that enhances preparedness, strengthens resilience, and ensures robust, proportionate responses to the most challenging security threats.

Drawing on our experience, we are well placed to provide organisations with the specialist expertise and practical guidance required to achieve compliance with Martyn's Law, while fostering a robust, proportionate security culture.

By conducting comprehensive threat and vulnerability assessments, we help organisations identify risks, implement effective protective security measures, and develop tailored policies and procedures that align with the new legislative requirements and operational needs.

Our expertise extends to designing and delivering bespoke training programmes that equip managers and employees with the knowledge and confidence to recognise potential threats, respond appropriately during an incident, and support effective evacuation and business continuity measures.

Our insight help’s organisations anticipate risk, safeguard people and assets, maintain operational confidence and demonstrate a clear commitment to fulfilling their duty of care.

A typical process we follow to implement Martyn’s Law for an organisation includes:

  • Assess organisational maturity in relation to security and resilience;
  • Identify areas of vulnerability and organisational risk;
  • Evaluate preparedness against anticipated Martyn's Law requirements;
  • Prioritise areas requiring improvement;
  • Develop a phased and proportionate implementation plan; and
  • Establish a governance framework to support ongoing oversight and assurance.

Our approach focuses on delivering practical recommendations that are achievable, risk-based, and aligned with organisational priorities.
