The SIA (Security Industry Authority) is running a public consultation on physical intervention training. The regulator is raising two points.
1: How might having a disability affect a person’s ability to be a door supervisor? The SIA would also like to hear thoughts on whether it should assess the ability to physically intervene of people who want to be door supervisors and if so, how?
2: Close protection licence holders will be required to undertake physical intervention training, to work as door supervisors. The SIA would like views on a proposal for how it introduces this requirement.
The SIA is particularly interested in the views of disabled people and holders of door supervisor and close protection licences. All responses must be submitted by close of business, December 20, 2016.
The regulator has hired an independent consultancy to run a workshop for disabled people and disabled people’s organisations. This workshop is to enable discussion of the issues and questions raised in this consultation. If you would like to be involved in one of these workshops, contact [email protected].
