In their words
School business managers, on BridgePacks.
“Honestly, it's amazing, and I am really impressed, so quick and so simple and it actually gave me an Action Plan as to what I needed to do next!!”

“We checked our BridgePacks documents against the guidance from our local authority. They aligned really closely, but made everything relevant to our school.”
School Business Manager, Swavesey Primary School
“It has saved us so much time. We worked through it to get everything in place, so we know we are ready and have our procedures ready and sorted.”
School Business Manager, Butterwick C of E Primary School
“I was very impressed by the clarity of the documents, and the action plan will be extremely useful to us to identify the areas where we currently fall short.”

Who we are
The kind of experience that can't be taken from a textbook.
We are Sophie and Ben McCarthy. Since 2008 we have helped organisations get ready for crises and handle them when they come, including easyJet, Oliver Bonas and Dorchester Hotels. Ben is a former BBC journalist, and we have run crisis workshops with more than 150 UK headteachers. BridgePacks puts that experience into a plan your school can actually use.
The problem we solve
Why we built this
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, more commonly known as Martyn’s Law is in memory of Martyn Hett one of the 22 people who were killed in the Manchester Arena bombing. It puts a new duty on schools to document security procedures to protect lives in the event of a terrorist incident. For most school leaders who aren’t crisis experts, this can feel extremely daunting. Our Martyn's Law Compliance Pack is built on 20 years of experience supporting companies like Oliver Bonas, easyJet, and Dorchester Hotels to ensure they have plans in place should the worst happen.
BridgePacks does the heavy lifting in minutes. You answer 30 focused questions about your school - staff numbers, site layout, named first responders, alarm system etc - and our system produces four bespoke Word documents written to current DfE and Home Office guidance. You receive them by email and through a secure dashboard, ready to use so your school is prepared.
Built to the guidance. Written for schools.
Kept up to date.
Compliance first

Questions
Frequently asked questions
This pack gives you the four written procedures required by Martyn's Law. It is structured to align with DfE guidance. It can be regularly updated and edited. It will be important to ensure the whole team are happy with the contents of the documents, this is your school's plan. There may be further measures you need to put in place to ensure full compliance but these will be highlighted in the action plan.
BridgePacks is built on two years of crisis workshops with more than 150 UK headteachers. The procedures, the questions and the framing all come from that work. Schools that have used BridgePacks include primary, secondary and specialist settings:
- Butterwick Primary School, Lincolnshire
- Cloughside College, Greater Manchester
- Hampton Hargate Primary School, Peterborough
- Lincoln Christ's Hospital School, Lincoln
- St James' Catholic High School, Cheshire
- Swavesey Primary School, Cambridgeshire
- Wilds Lodge School, Rutland
The questionnaire asks about your boarding provision, and your plan covers everything up to the end of all school activities, whatever time that is. That includes evening events such as sports fixtures, student dining, performances and rehearsals. Because boarding schools vary widely in how they operate overnight, the plan does not cover night-time procedures, and it says so clearly in the document itself so nothing is left ambiguous. Your overnight arrangements will need to be planned separately alongside it.
Your purchase includes one year of access and updates, with twelve opportunities to update your pack over that year. After your year ends, you can renew for £50 + VAT to retain access to the platform. There is no automatic renewal and no rolling subscription. If you choose not to renew, you keep the Word documents you have downloaded; you just lose access to the platform.
Yes. The four documents are delivered as fully editable Word files. They are yours to amend, brand, and circulate within your school or trust. You can also log back in any time within your one-year window to regenerate fresh versions if your circumstances change.
