Enhanced Tier
Comprehensive Protection for Large Premises — Stronger Measures, Greater Resilience.
Why It Matters
Premises and events expecting 800 or more people are classified under the Enhanced Tier in Martyn’s Law. With larger crowds comes a greater responsibility – and a greater potential impact in the event of an attack.
The Enhanced Tier recognises the need for more detailed, formalised security planning to safeguard the public and reduce risks to life.
At Martyn’s Law Services, we support large venues and event organisers to meet these higher expectations with professionalism, precision, and confidence.
What It Involves
If your premises or event is within the Enhanced Tier, you will be required to:
Implement appropriate public protection measures that are reasonably practicable for your premises or event, including:
Monitoring:
Monitoring of the premises and surrounding areas.
Control:
Control of movement into, out of, and within the site.
PHYSICAL:
Physical security measures where needed.
Information:
Information security to prevent intelligence leakage.
Prepare:
Prepare detailed compliance documentation demonstrating how your procedures reduce vulnerabilities and manage risks.
Designate:
Designate a Responsible Person or Senior Designated Individual to oversee security and compliance.
Submit:
Submit compliance documentation to the Security Industry Authority and update it when changes occur.
Enhanced Tier compliance demands a strategic, proactive approach — combining physical security, staff readiness, and effective risk management.
