Council offices, libraries, and civic spaces serve the public daily. Implementing connected safety systems ensures staff and visitors are protected and that public buildings meet Martyn’s Law obligations.
Martyn's Law Solutions - Local Councils
Public Building Safety
Council-owned spaces such as libraries, leisure centres, town halls and civic offices are central to community life and must remain safe, accessible, and compliant with Martyn's Law.
AV systems provide the infrastructure needed to communicate effectively with the public, manage crowds, and deliver real-time updates across multiple facilities. In the event of an emergency, digital signage and PA systems guide visitors with clarity and control, ensuring calm, structured responses.
Coordinated Emergency Response
Local authorities are often responsible for numerous public venues, sometimes spanning large geographic areas. A centralised AV network allows councils to manage all sites from one connected platform, issuing alerts, safety updates, or lockdown procedures simultaneously.
This unified communication capability enables faster coordination with emergency services and ensures that all departments follow consistent safety protocols.
Governance, Compliance & Public Confidence
Martyn’s Law places a clear duty on local authorities to protect the people who use their spaces. Implementing intelligent AV systems demonstrates commitment to compliance and strengthens public trust in their local council authority.
Beyond emergencies, these same systems support daily operations, broadcasting community updates, safety information, and civic messages creating a transparent, connected environment where residents feel both informed and secure.
Safeguarding Communities Through Smart Infrastructure
Councils play a vital role in public protection, managing spaces where people live, gather, and work. Our AV systems enhance communication across civic buildings, public squares, and transport networks, ensuring immediate response capabilities during emergencies.
By combining technology with duty of care, councils can lead by example in Martyn’s Law compliance and community safety. Handy AV will deliver the technology and expertise to help councils prepare, protect, and communicate effectively, creating safer spaces and demonstrating leadership in the saftey of their community.
