Martyn's Law for churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and other places of worship
Places of worship are in scope for Martyn's Law regardless of capacity. The law was designed with public spaces in mind, but it explicitly includes churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and other religious buildings. For most parish churches and small congregations, the practical impact is producing a Standard Tier procedure document and making sure those who run services and events are aware of it. Premly is built for the churchwarden, the elder, the trustee, or whoever's been asked to sort it.
The law
What the law expects from places of worship
Standard Tier (which most places of worship will fall under) requires four procedures: evacuation, invacuation, lockdown, communication. Staff awareness includes paid staff and volunteers who have responsibility during services or events. You don't need to submit anything to the SIA unless they ask.
Premly
What Premly does for places of worship
The wizard understands places of worship. The way the building is laid out, the doors that get locked outside services, who's around mid-week, what happens during a wedding or funeral. The generated procedure names your specific exits, your assembly point, and your communication chain. Volunteers get a link to acknowledge. The annual review reminder fires automatically.

Frequently asked, by places of worship
Are we really expected to have a terrorism procedure for a parish church?
The law applies regardless. The practical bar for most rural parish churches is straightforward: a clear set of procedures for what to do if something happens, and an awareness record for those involved in services. Premly produces both.
Who's the responsible person for a church?
Usually the churchwarden, the church administrator, or the PCC secretary. For other denominations, the elder, trustee, or operations lead with day-to-day responsibility for the building.
Does this apply to a mosque or synagogue too?
Yes. The law applies to places of worship of all faiths. Premly's wording can be adapted; the wizard collects the specifics.
