Officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, Martyn’s Law may soon become a legal requirement, mandating that any school with over 100 people must meet specific standards to prepare for the possibility of a terrorist attack.
What Does Martyn’s Law Mean for Schools?
Martyn’s Law sets forth several essential safety measures that every school must implement to ensure the safety of students, staff and visitors. These measures include:
Evacuation Plans: Schools must establish clear protocols for safely evacuating everyone on the premises in the event of a threat.
Lockdown Protocols: It’s vital to have effective lockdown procedures in place to protect students and staff if evacuation is not feasible.
Communication Systems: Reliable and rapid communication channels are essential to coordinate responses during emergencies.
Invacuation Procedures: In some cases, moving individuals to a safer area within the premises may be necessary. Schools must be prepared for such scenarios.
