The MIA's recently released Roadmap to Navigating Martyn's Law, created in partnership with leading security and risk management experts GSA Global, is a step-by-step roadmap to help the business meetings and events sector stay ahead of the potential requirements, so it is ready when the law is enacted. Our extensive guide provides details on the existing legal frameworks that venues must comply with to ensure the safety of their staff, visitors, and the general public, as well as information on the expected Martyn’s Law. As the legislation is not yet legally mandated, it does not constitute legal advice. Instead, it offers practical steps encouraging venues to review their security practices, enhance their preparedness for emergencies, and ultimately, provide a safer environment for people to meet and a safer, more secure future for all.
