With the introduction of Martyn’s Law, officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, requiring public venues and events across the UK to prepare for and reduce the risk of terrorist attacks. New College Lanarkshire is looking to source a Mass Communication System to support safety, operational efficiency, and communication across all 4 of the college’s campuses in Motherwell, Coatbridge, Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch
