For healthcare

Martyn's Law implemented through existing Protective Services governance.

Healthcare organisations already operate established governance for security, resilience and operational assurance. The challenge isn't understanding Martyn's Law - it's embedding it within those existing governance arrangements.

Industry challenges

What you're up against

Why this operating model is different

Hospitals and clinical sites are permanently open public places run by many teams at once: security, estates, emergency preparedness, resilience and response, and clinical leadership. Accountability for a single premises is genuinely shared.

The implementation challenge

Martyn's Law introduces specific duties that must be evidenced per premises and reviewed over time. Run as a standalone programme, it duplicates existing governance and drifts. Run inside existing arrangements, it has to produce its own defensible record.

How the platform helps

Challenge → capability

Duties spread across security, estates and EPRR teams

People & Governance: named owners per premises and duty.

Mixed public, clinical and back-of-house areas

Premises & Uses: each site and use recorded and classified.

Measures agreed but not documented

Protective Measures: what is in place, recorded consistently.

Assurance requests arrive with no traceable record

Evidence & Records: timestamped and downloadable on request.

Gaps identified in one committee, lost in another

Actions & Reviews: owners, due dates, scheduled review cycles.

Boards need a Trust-wide position

Executive Assurance: one view across every premises.
