Martyn's Law - the implications for places of worship

This event will look in detail at Martyn’s Law, which is draft legislation currently making its way through parliament.

This is new legislation that will impose a duty on people who run places of worship, community centres and other publicly accessible locations to consider the terrorist risk and how they would respond to an attack.

The talk will be delivered by an expert from the Community Security Trust (CST).

CST is the charity that provides the security at 650 Jewish community buildings and 1,000 Jewish community events every year. They have for decades shared their security knowledge willingly – and for free – with groups outside the Jewish community that are vulnerable to violence, extremism or hate crime.

By the end of the session you will have gained a good appreciation of the draft legislation and how it is likely to affect your place of worship.

The event welcomes all faith community leaders, trustees and others holding legal responsibility for places of worship or faith community centres in Southend.

Please note there is no car park at the venue - parking is either along the London Road or side streets nearby.
