Martyn's Law training and crisis exercise records for venues and boards
Rehearse and document the procedures Martyn's Law will require, before the SIA asks.
The evidence problem
Martyn's Law brings a duty on qualifying premises and events to have procedures in place and to be able to show them to the regulator. For the enhanced tier, expected to apply from around 2027, the Security Industry Authority will want to see more than a written procedure: it will want to know that the people on shift have practised it.
The UK Corporate Governance Code asks boards to confirm the effectiveness of their risk management and internal controls, and ISO 22361 sets out what a rehearsed crisis management capability looks like. Both point to the same gap: an exercise that happened once, with a record that nobody can find.
Venue teams change every season. A rehearsal from last year does not cover this year's staff, and a full evacuation exercise is disruptive enough that most venues run one rarely.
What Maitris gives you
- Procedures rehearsed by the people who will use them, with a record of each run
- Board-level crisis exercise records with decisions and timings
- Repeatable for new staff and new seasons without closing the venue
The AI generates the scenario and compiles the evidence. Your named assessor decides competence.
