Protect Duty: CTB365 event on 18 November

The Protect Duty (Martyn’s Law) is expected to be written into UK Law by the middle of 2022. However, there are multiple things to consider, especially for local authorities and venue owners, who are having to look at specific counter terrorism staff training, increased numbers of emergency first aid/ bleed control kits, perhaps even augmented physical security measures – all of which come at a cost.

How will urban high street design be affected by the new law? After fifteen months of lockdown, people want to be outside, socialising, free to enjoy a meal or drink outside a café or pub – but equally, they want to feel safe from vehicular attacks. Will there be provisions for this in the Protect Duty?

These are some of the key questions that will be addressed on 18 November at the CTB365 ‘Protect Duty’ online interactive event.

The event will hear from the likes of Figen Murray, the mother of Martyn Hett who died at the Manchester Arena bombing in May 2017, David Bamaung, Security Subject Matter Expert at the Manchester Arena Public Inquiry, as well as chair of the Security Institute, and Steven McGrath, co-chair of the Counter Terrorism Special Interest Group and head of Information Capability & Engagement, NaCTSO.
