Questions about the checker, the law, or our plans? We're a small team and we read every message — though we may take a day or two to reply.
Common questions before you write
My checker result says I'm in scope — what do I do next?
Start by reading our guide “What is Martyn's Law and does it apply to my venue?” . If you're standard tier, you have until spring 2027 to notify the SIA and put your four procedures in place — there's no rush to act today, but getting started early is sensible. Our procedures wizard (coming late 2026) will walk you through each document.
I think the checker gave me the wrong result.
The checker is based on our reading of the Act and the April 2026 statutory guidance, but it can't account for every edge case. If you believe your venue has unusual characteristics — shared or split use, unusual tenure arrangements, hybrid events — please describe the situation in your message and we'll look into it.
Can you review our draft procedures?
Not at the moment — we're a small team focused on building the guided wizard tool. Once the procedures pack is available (Phase 2, expected late 2026), it will generate SIA-ready documents step by step. Join the waitlist to be first to know when it's ready.
Are you affiliated with the SIA or the Home Office?
No. VenueCompliant is entirely independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Home Office, the Security Industry Authority, ProtectUK, or any government body. We built this tool because we thought the guidance was hard to navigate, not because we have any official role.
I'm a journalist or writing about Martyn's Law — can we talk?
Yes. Use the form above and select “Press or media enquiry”. We're happy to speak on background or on the record about the compliance landscape for venues.
