Martyn’s Law Risk Assessments & Security Risk Appraisals
Martyn’s Law Consultancy for Schools and Organisations
At JCH Safety Ltd, we help organisations understand and prepare for Martyn’s Law (Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025).
We provide practical, proportionate advice to improve security while maintaining a welcoming environment, with a focus on sensible risk management rather than unnecessary bureaucracy.
