Public protection procedures are the steps your venue would take to keep people safe during a terror attack. Martyn's Law groups them into four areas. A PPP, short for Public Protection Procedures, is the document where you write yours down.
These four come from Section 5 of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. For the detail behind each one, read our full guide to public protection procedures.
Not strictly. Standard Tier venues don't have to submit a written PPP to the regulator, and there's no mandated format. The Home Office dropped the idea of a compulsory template after the 2024 consultation. So a written PPP isn't a legal form you file.
What you do have to do is have the four procedures in place, so far as is reasonably practicable, and be able to show an inspector they exist and that your staff and volunteers know them. Writing them down is the simplest way to prove both, and it doubles as the thing you brief your team from. That's what this tool produces.
Because there's no official template, a blank Word document leaves you guessing what a good answer looks like. A consultant can cost hundreds of pounds and take weeks. The generator sits in between: it asks plain questions about your building and turns your answers into a structured document.
Blank template
Free, but generic. You still have to know what each section should say.
Consultant
Thorough, but slow and expensive for a Standard Tier venue that doesn't need it.
This generator
Your answers, your building, a finished document in about ten minutes.
The document covers your premises information, all four procedures, a section on how you brief staff and volunteers, and a review date. Here's a shortened example for a small community pub. Yours is built from your own answers, so the detail will be different.
Sample document
Public Protection Procedures
Premises
A 300-capacity community pub, counting staff and volunteers. Ground-floor bar with a function room and a beer garden. Responsible person: the licensee.
Evacuation
Primary route: front entrance to the high street. Secondary routes: kitchen fire exit to the rear yard, function-room fire exit to the side. Assembly point: the car park across the road. The duty manager decides which routes to use based on where the threat is.
Invacuation
If it's safer to stay inside, shelter in the function room and cellar, both away from the front windows.
Lockdown
Front door deadbolt, beer-garden gate bolt, fire exits secured from inside, bar shutters down. Nominated: the duty manager and senior bar staff.
Communication
Staff raise the alarm on the team chat or with a code word. The duty manager calls 999 and briefs everyone on what to do.
Capacity, exits, entry points, and who's on shift. Every question has help text. If you've walked your building, you already know the answers.
Your answers become a structured document covering all four procedures, plus your premises details and a review date.
Take the document away, then train your staff and volunteers and track who's done it from your dashboard. That second half is the part most venues forget.

If you're unsure how a specific requirement applies to your premises, take advice from a solicitor or qualified security adviser before acting on anything you read here.
