The Security Industry in the UK has come a long way. The days are gone when security jobs were viewed by many as unskilled profession. We welcome the Private Security Industry Act 2001 setting out a system for the regulation of the private security industry. The Act is broken down into a number of Sections - sections 1 and 2 establishing the current Security Industry Authority (SIA) as a regulatory body for the security industry. The SIA is charged with many a responsibility amongst which is, according to the SIA "to help protect society by collaboratively developing and achieving high standards in the private security industry".
One obvious manifestation of this responsibility is the requirement for all frontline security personnel to train for a SIA security Licence. Security HR, provides this training.
This, we believe has brought the long desired security skills and professionalism into the security industry and will go on to improve public confidence in the security industry. Over the years, prior to the introduction of the SIA training, many private security firms had aspired to give high quality security training to their Security Guards, Door Supervisors or CCTV Operators , but this aspiration had never been achieved as they continued to deploy staff with no industry training qualification to work for their clients.
They continued to do this for a number of reasons, but not because there was no security training courses available, but because the clients and the public viewed Security Officers as a bunch of lazy and unskilled workers and always believed that "anybody could do the job". Based on this belief, the clients were not prepared to pay any reasonable wages in respect of the services provided by the security companies. This in turn affected the pay rate received by individual security officers, which had been too low. As a result, their performances and morals were affected giving rise to an entirely boring work environment.
This problem should be attributed to lack of security training. Most security officers therefore got fed-up and often left the security industry, in many cases, without notice to their employer.
This then prompted the employer to recruit a replacement with no "person specification", "no job description", no training and no method of assessment for suitability.
Under this condition the priority of the private security firm was to fill that vacancy as soon as possible because the clients "wanted somebody there". Those days are now over and will remain in the past forever.
The Security Industry Act 2001 (security licensing law) has now made it compulsory for all those who work in the security industry to undergo SIA Security Licence Training and possess a valid SIA licence. To get an SIA license a candidate will have to show that he or she has successfully completed a two-part SIA training course for either a Door Supervisors' course or a Security Guarding Course or a course from any of the sectors requiring SIA licence.
