Staff Training & Awareness Programs

Structured training to ensure your personnel understand their responsibilities under the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025

What Is Staff Training & Awareness?

Staff training under Martin's Law involves educating employees on terrorism threats, protective security principles, and their specific roles during an incident. This is targeted instruction aligned with your Emergency Action Plan and the requirements of the TPPA 2025. Training covers threat recognition, the RUN-HIDE-TELL protocol, evacuation and lockdown procedures, communication responsibilities, and post-incident actions.

Who This Service Is For

This service is designed for UK organisations with premises falling within the Standard Tier (100–799 capacity) or Enhanced Tier (800+) of Martin's Law. Training is relevant for any staff member who may be present during an incident, including front-of-house teams, security personnel, facilities staff, managers, and senior leadership. Organisations with high staff turnover or seasonal workforces particularly benefit from structured, repeatable training programmes.

What This Service Covers

Threat awareness: recognising hostile reconnaissance and suspicious behaviour
RUN-HIDE-TELL protocol and its practical application
Site-specific evacuation and lockdown procedures
Communication responsibilities during incidents
Roles of designated personnel and chain of command

Legal and Compliance Context

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 requires responsible persons to ensure that staff are adequately trained to carry out protective security procedures. For Standard Tier premises, this includes awareness training on emergency actions. Enhanced Tier venues face additional obligations, including documented competency assessments.

Our programmes are developed in accordance with Home Office guidance, NPSA recommendations, and Counter Terrorism Policing protocols. Training records form part of your compliance evidence and may be requested during regulatory inspections.

How the Service Is Delivered

Training is delivered through a combination of methods tailored to your operational requirements. Options include on-site instructor-led sessions, remote video workshops, and e-learning modules for larger or dispersed workforces. Sessions are scheduled to minimise business disruption, with shift-pattern flexibility available. Content is customised to your premises, referencing your specific Emergency Action Plan, site layout, and communication systems.
