‘Time to Act Now: Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) and the responsibilities facing event organisers’ urges organisers of events, large and small, to proactively review their security procedures now before imminent changes to the law come into force.

It highlights that while the introduction of Protect Duty, also known as Martyn’s Law, may still be months away, organisers ought to be proactive and not wait until the legislation is in place to take action.

The White Paper also provides guidance on the approach and steps event organisers are to take to ensure the safety of their employees, volunteers and members of the public.

The document has been written by HVM experts from Hardstaff Barriers – one of the UK’s leading suppliers of HVM solutions and the company responsible for delivering the Government’s National Barrier Asset (NBA) framework.
