The GroundWork Academy

Learn to prepare - and to lead readiness where you work.

The Academy brings together our guidance into a structured learning path: understand Martyn’s Law, build sound procedures, and know how to put them into practice and keep them current. Free to learn, built to be genuinely useful - not just to sell a document.

Structured learning path

Short, plain-English modules covering scope, the four procedures, deployment and review.

Practical, not theoretical

Everything geared to what you actually do on your premises - not abstract compliance.

For every kind of site

Examples across hospitality, retail, events, healthcare, education and more.

Always current

Kept in step with the statutory guidance as it develops toward enforcement.
