In the security industry, the use of physical intervention is integral, from the knowledge and training to the practise in a real life situation to defuse a situation. However, if excessive or incorrect physical intervention is used then the consequences can be dire.
The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) has produced a short film for security staff on how to deal with an unattended bag once it has been identified.
The SIA is changing the qualifications needed for an SIA licence. This follows a review of the licence-linked qualifications.
The SIA has developed top-up training to make sure current Door Supervisor and Security Guarding licence holders have the same basic skills and knowledge as new entrants achieving the updated qualifications.
From October 2021, door supervisors and security guards will need to complete top-up training before they renew their licence.
