A self-serve tool that helps the responsible person produce a structured, verifiable protection document for Martyn’s Law.
Guided prompts, precise location tools and instant document generation - with nothing sensitive stored. We keep a limited public-identifier index and timestamped fingerprint so the document can be matched and verified.

*Standard-tier premises are not required to produce a document - but the statutory guidance notes it may be difficult to demonstrate compliance without one. That is what GroundWork helps you produce.
For premises below the 200-person threshold, or operators who want to prepare ahead of any duty. There’s no legal requirement here - but there are good reasons to be prudent.
GroundWork doesn’t give safety advice or judge your premises. It captures what you record - accurately, in the right shape - and turns it into a document you own.
A central database of every site’s doors, exits and assembly points would be exactly the intelligence an attacker wants. So we didn’t build one.
It isn’t saved to an account and can’t be retrieved from our servers. You hold it; you keep it safe. Because the sensitive detail sits in your file, that file is yours to store securely - which is exactly why it stays with you and not with us.
Across a book of insured sites, see at a glance which readiness documents are active, which are due for review, and which are missing.
A live signal that supports renewal and underwriting conversations.
A site lets its own insurer, compliance team or lender confirm a readiness document is genuine and current. Site-owned proof, shared by choice - never a data sale.
Places of worship, childcare and schools are capped at the standard tier even above 800. Healthcare settings have their own considerations. Check what applies to you.
A readiness document isn’t just a duty met - it’s a signal. It tells event organisers, partners and guests you’ve taken preparedness seriously, and makes you the straightforward site to book.
One document, four signals
A current readiness document is clear evidence you’ve prepared in line with Martyn’s Law - an honest statement of diligence, ready to show partners, staff or an inspector. Even below the 200-person threshold, being ready is a signal worth having.
And it wins business. When a company hires your site, the Act places duties on both of you - a site whose readiness is already documented removes friction from the booking and makes co-ordination straightforward. Demonstrated preparedness is a commercial advantage, not just a box ticked.
Produce a structured, verifiable document you can show - in minutes, kept entirely in your hands.
A single price for your readiness document. When it’s time to review, amend the one you already have and reissue it.
Because nothing is stored on our side, amending requires the document you downloaded - keep it safe and re-upload it when you need to update. Enhanced-tier documents will be priced separately when available.
