London, 27 May 2025 — One of the foremost London museums has taken a significant step in bolstering public safety by implementing the Callmy Alert service. This move supports compliance with Martyn’s Law (also known as the Terrorism Protection of Premises Bill), reflecting the museum’s proactive commitment to safeguarding its staff, visitors, and heritage.

Martyn’s Law, named in memory of Martyn Hett who tragically lost his life in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, is new UK legislation that aims to improve security preparedness at publicly accessible locations. In anticipation of the law’s enactment the London museum has adopted Callmy Alert, a critical communication and emergency response solution, designed to provide secure lockdown messages and support for incident management.

“We are proud to be among the first cultural institutions to adopt this level of preparedness,” said the Head of Security for the London Museum. “The safety of our visitors and staff is paramount, and the integration of Callmy Alert ensures we are not only compliant with Martyn’s Law but also equipped with modern tools to manage emergencies swiftly and efficiently.”

Martyn’s Law Webinar

Martyn's Law WebinarWe are pleased to be supporting an IFSEC webinar on the new “Martyn’s Law Protect Duty” with our our partner Peoplesafe.

With the recently published Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, also known as Martyn’s Law, the government have finally started to outline what is expected of Publicly Accessible Locations (PALs). Organising a response and communicating clearly was one of the key issues outlined in the enquiry and is now part of the draft bill.

Communicating across an organisation to ensure the command teams are mobilised quickly and effectively is a vital part to reacting well to a crisis, as is getting the right type of communication to every level of your organisation. With clearer outlines in this draft bill on what is expected by PALs, it is now something that will come more into focus for all those affected by this forthcoming legislation.

When you attend this webinar, you will learn:

  • The key expectations from the draft bill
  • What the bill expects from PALs with regard to communication
  • How to mobilise and communicate to different response levels across an organisation
  • How to ensure all communications are clear and consistent
  • Ways to audit communications
  • Best practice from a real-life case study
