SIA survey needs your input

The Home Office and Security Industry Authority (SIA) kindly request your assistance with an important research survey to support their considerations of the recommendations made by the Manchester Arena Inquiry.

They need to better understand and explore your views and experiences, in particular towards the recommendation that the licensing of in-house security operatives should be considered and/ or the recommendation that consideration should be given to introducing business licensing for private security contractors.

This research is as relevant for smaller businesses as it is for larger businesses, across all industries, whether you have ‘just’ CCTV or broader security arrangements, whether your security is in-house or outsourced.

 To participate you must be:

• Responsible for security decisions in your organisation (whether in-house or out sourced)

OR

• Be a security operative, which can include monitoring CCTV (even if only as a minor part of your role, or post-incident monitoring) – in this case you must be employed in-house – this survey is not for security operatives employed by security providers.

Your organisation will not be names in the report and any information you provide will be treated confidentially.

You can read more and complete the 15 minute survey, here: www.plus4.co.uk/manchesterarena

The deadline is 30th April 2022.

Your support for this work would be greatly appreciated and an important contribution to keeping the public safe.
