Security Recruitment
Security Consultation
We've got your backing ...
The SIA wants to support the industry becoming more equal and diverse and our role as the private security regulator in driving this change is to promote and share good practice through regular updates, via our website and on social media.
Elizabeth France, the SIA Chair also commented:
"At the SIA, we are keen to follow up the research conducted into equality and diversity last year (2015). One of the first steps was to invite debate on the findings, I was therefore delighted by the level of interest shown in the event we held; the range of organisations represented and the real engagement in the discussion suggests that the private security industry is ready to take steps to improve equality and diversity.
We heard inspiring examples of good practice and had an opportunity to discuss the benefits, barriers and practical steps needed to deliver a more diverse workforce across the private security industry.
While it is for the industry to take ownership of encouraging career progression in the sector and building a business culture that attracts more diverse candidates we are ready, as the regulator, to work with the industry to identify ways in which we can facilitate this change; a change we are confident will contribute to raising standards."
