Martyn's Law

In another thread, @Lineisclear made reference to the impending burden of Martyn's Law on voluntary organisations:

In an email sent out by the CofE "Parish Resources" team today, information was provided about Martyn's Law, confirming that the national teams of the CofE are preparing materials to support - I assume that the HRA are doing similar.

It then also included details of a briefing which is, as far as I can see, open to all:
This guidance is designed to explain the Act’s requirements in a way that works for all and reflects the government’s clear intent that those responsible for premises and events in scope can comply without needing to buy specialist services. Alongside the statutory guidance, the Church of England Cathedrals and Church Buildings Team are continuing to develop a wider package of supporting material to help organisations understand the requirements of the Act and prepare for commencement.

Churches as places of worship fall under the ‘standard tier’ for the purpose of the Act.

Webinar for the heritage sector

Join Historic England for the first in a webinar series looking at the application of counter-terrorism security at heritage sites. This first webinar will introduce the Act, and how it applies to the heritage sector. With support from the National Counter-Terrorism Security Office, it will also look at the current terrorism threat in the UK, how and where incidents might happen, and the types of threats you may need to protect against.
Date & time: Wednesday 10 June at 13:00

Has anyone looked at
"Transport premises that are already subject to relevant existing legislative requirements to consider and mitigate threats."
(I assume it's aimed at NR and British Transport Police matters. But assuming BTP have jurisdiction over preserved railways, it may stand scrutiny)

 

According to Mr. Google they do not (which was what I thought). Guess we need definitive clarification, but some Heritage lines are well away from the national network and they can barely cover that.

 

If it's based on jurisdiction

 

AFAIK the only heritage railway covered by BTP is the NYMR and that is to avoid a situation where there would be a split in responsibilities due to running over Network Rail.

 

That's a shame.
Perhaps we should have a British Heritage Transport Police (with Ford Anglias and 1950s uniforms...) to deal with ne'erdowells and ruffians on the preserved railways...
