21st January, 1pm-2pm
Speaker: Phil Dolby (Founder and Director, Smarter Response)
Session Synopsis:
As academies and trusts prepare for the introduction of Martyn’s Law, understanding what the legislation means in practice is an important starting point. The session will consider how physical security arrangements, leadership decisions, communications and emergency procedures work together during an incident. Attendees will leave with practical considerations they can use to review existing arrangements, identify priorities and strengthen assurance across their academies.
Key Themes:
- Understanding Martyn’s Law and its implications for schools and academy trusts
- Identifying site vulnerabilities and understanding how security arrangements operate under pressure
- Exploring practical, proportionate measures to improve site security and protective actions
- Strengthening incident leadership, decision-making and communications
- Building resilience through clear responsibilities, exercising, review and organisational learning
