Blog. Martyn's Law in plain English.
Calm, practical posts for the volunteers and managers who run halls, places of worship, pubs and clubs. Each one checked against the official guidance, with its sources.
The guides set out what Martyn's Law asks. These posts go further into the questions committees and managers ask most: how to count to 200, what the standard tier really involves, and how to brief the people who use your building. Each one is written for the person getting the venue ready, not for lawyers, and links to the official source for every fact.
