Home Office announces further free webinars for Martyn's Law standard tier consultation
The Home Office has announced further free webinars on the Martyn's Law standard tier consultation for public sector bodies, including local (parish and town) councils, which may own or manage buildings and premises falling in the scope of the standard tier of the draft Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill.
The webinars will take place throughout the next two months on 13 February 2024 (3 pm - 4 pm), 20 February 2024 (11.30 am - 12.30 pm), 27 February 2024 (11.30 am - 12.30 pm), 28 February 2024 (10.30 am - 11.30 am), 29 February 2024 (10 am - 11 am) and 7 March 2024 (2 pm - 3 pm).
The Home Office has confirmed its Microsoft Teams function can accommodate up to 10,000 people. However, only the first 1,000 can participate in the chat/come off of mute, and everyone else will be in listen-only mode. To counter any issues experienced if the event exceeds 1,000, the Home Office will only accept questions via Slido. It will ensure the Slido details are communicated in the webinar to give everyone a chance to participate.
