Navigating Martyn's Law
Thursday 23rd July at 10.30am

Martyn’s Law is expected to be in full force by Spring 2027. With local authorities expected to drive the implementation of Martyn’s Law, this webinar gives viewers the opportunity to feed in on good regulation and provides support for organisations to prepare.

At the same time, we are reminded of the human story behind Martyn’s Law. Figen Murray, Mother of Martyn Hett and Founder of Martyn’s Law joins the panel and shares the personal journey that followed the Manchester Arena attack and the campaign that followed.

As the communications lead for the Martyn’s Law campaign, Nathan Emmerich steers the conversation to ensure attendees leave with both actionable insights to improve security across qualifying premises and events and a clear understanding of why moving this law forward quickly is not just necessary, but vital.
