Our training meets recognised UK standards and industry compliance requirements.
Terrorism is an evolving threat, and protecting people is a shared responsibility.
Effective counter-terrorism isn’t just about security teams. It is about awareness, preparation, good communication and knowing what to do when it matters.
Our training helps individuals and organisations develop the knowledge and confidence to recognise risks, support protective security arrangements and contribute to a stronger security culture.
This ties very nicely into the philosophy of both SFJ qualifications. The Level 2 specifically emphasises that counter-terrorism protective security is a shared responsibility across an organisation, rather than something belonging solely to security teams or venue management.
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, commonly known as Martyn’s Law, is changing the way certain premises and events prepare for the risk of terrorism.
The Act received Royal Assent in April 2025 and is expected to come into force in Spring 2027. The implementation period gives organisations time to understand their responsibilities and prepare.
01 — Know your scope
Understand whether your premises or event falls within the scope of Martyn’s Law.
The Act uses criteria including the type of premises/activity and the number of people reasonably expected to be present
02 — Be prepared
Organisations in scope will need appropriate arrangements to prepare for and respond to terrorist incidents.
03 — Build a security culture
Protective security isn’t just the responsibility of one person or one department.
Everyone has a role to play.
04 — Keep arrangements under review
Preparedness should be practical, proportionate and appropriate to the individual organisation and its circumstances.
The official guidance emphasises that what is “reasonably practicable” will vary between premises and organisations.
Whether you’re looking to build awareness across your workforce or develop more advanced protective security and preparedness capability, we offer regulated SFJ Awards qualifications designed for different levels of responsibility.
