Martyn's Law for schools
Schools are in scope for Martyn's Law regardless of capacity. State or independent, primary or secondary, special schools and PRUs included. Most schools already have lockdown procedures from existing safeguarding work, but Martyn's Law specifically asks for the four named procedures and a record of staff awareness. Premly turns that into a single tailored document and a clean staff acknowledgment trail.
The law
What the law expects from schools
Schools fall under Standard Tier requirements. You need procedures for evacuation, invacuation, lockdown, and communication. Staff need to be aware of them. You may already have most of this in your safeguarding policies or critical incident plan. Premly's job is to consolidate what you have into a Martyn's Law-shaped document and keep it current.
Premly
What Premly does for schools
The wizard asks about your specific school. Year groups present at different times, where reception is, how the gate operates, the assembly point on the field versus the car park. The generated procedure pulls all that in. New staff get a link on induction; they read the procedure, confirm, and the head or business manager has a record.

Frequently asked, by schools
We already have a critical incident plan, is that enough?
Possibly. Martyn's Law wants the four named procedures (evacuation, invacuation, lockdown, communication) explicitly addressed. If your existing plan covers them clearly, you're most of the way there. Premly's value is producing a clean Martyn's Law-shaped document and the staff acknowledgment trail.
Who's the responsible person?
Usually the head, the school business manager, or whoever holds safeguarding accountability. If your school is part of a multi-academy trust, it might be a trust-level person.
What about pupil-facing communication?
Martyn's Law focuses on staff and operational response. Your existing safeguarding curriculum already covers pupil-facing material.
