Course Description
The Protect Duty (Martyn’s Law) is expected to be written into UK Law by the middle of 2022. However, there are multiple things to consider, especially for local authorities. The Local Government Association has questioned “How a new duty would sit alongside existing duties and delivery of work in the counter-terrorism space. This includes work undertaken by Community Safety Partnerships, Local Resilience Forums (in particular how a new duty will be aligned to the requirements in the Civil Contingencies Act 2004), CONTEST boards, Safety Advisory Groups (SAGs), licensing teams, and under the Health and Safety at Work Act. Many of these have overlapping partner representation and/or interest in these issues.”
