Clarification
on regulatory
regime
essential,
says BSIA
» » THE BRITISH SECURITY
Industry Association (BSIA) is
calling for urgent clarification
on the future of the regulatory
regime for the private
security industry.
This comes
following news
that a security
firm is being
investigated by
the Security Industry
Authority for allegedly
supplying cloned badges to
unlicensed stewards. The
company in question is not a
BSIA member.
“The industry has faced
a great deal of uncertainty
with regards to how it will
be regulated in the future.
This is an issue that has been
ongoing for many years,
despite overwhelming support
from the industry for the
transition to a new ‘lighter
touch’ regulatory regime,” said
James Kelly, Chief Executive of
the BSIA. “A proposed system
of business licensing for the
security industry received
extensive backing from the
industry, the regulator and
the government following a
consultation in 2012, but this
is yet to materialise. This has
left all stakeholders uncertain
about the future regulatory
framework which would
govern its operations, as well
as the cost of licensing.
“An Independent Review
LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | SEP/OCT 2017
Sponsored by Aldridge Security
of the SIA was carried out in
2016 during which the BSIA
lobbied for the reaffirmation
of business licensing in place
of the current system. The
outcome of this review
has been left in-situ
with successive
governments for
almost a year and
appears no closer to
being published in the
foreseeable future.
“Incidents such as the
allegation of cloned badges
being supplied to unlicensed
stewards demonstrate the
importance of clear and robust
regulation for the security
industry. A business licensing
system would enable the
regulator to revoke a business’
licence and prevent them from
operating within the industry
should they fail to ensure
all personnel are properly
licensed or carry out the
required level of due diligence
when sub-contracting work,”
added Kelly.
“The BSIA is now calling for
the Government to urgently
address the future of the
regulatory regime for the
private security industry. This
starts with the results of the
Independent Review of the
Security Industry Authority
which should be published as
a priority,” concludes Kelly.
