Top-up training for door supervisors - a consultation
We consulted on plans to introduce additional training for UK door supervisors. The aim of the new proposals, many of which were suggested by the industry, is to protect the public by raising standards of training across the industry. The additional training proposed includes physical intervention, first aid, special considerations when dealing with young people and awareness of the threat of terrorism. Door supervisors deal directly with members of the public, often working in difficult situations where conflict can arise. It is vital that they are properly equipped to carry out their role and meet the challenges they face to better protect the public.
The Security Industry Authority (SIA) has already included the additional training elements as part of the new qualifications being introduced from June 2010. The public consultation proposed making the additional skills a requirement for existing door supervisors in the form of top-up training that must be taken before renewing their licence. This would also apply to those who have an existing qualification and want to apply for a licence for the first time.
This consultation closed on 23 March 2010.
