james.wilson Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Following the leak do we think the sia will stay. DO we need them. Should they have done more so they couldn't be axed? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
Cubit Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Following the leak do we think the sia will stay. DO we need them. Should they have done more so they couldn't be axed? Just another toothless and often pointless quango.

arfur mo Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 The SIA was tasked with reducing crime and improving standards in the industry. It licences bouncers, in-store guards, CCTV operators and other qualified security workers who pass background checks. There are almost 350,000 security workers with valid licences across the UK. Regulation began in 2003 in England and Wales and was extended to Scotland in 2007 and to Northern Ireland in 2009 states self financing, dump theSIA as what they really want is the easy dosh income from the licences then? Arfur If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
Cubit Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Parking/clamping scammers come under the SIA. Found under the heading of Cowboys and Organised crime.
hpotter Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Just another toothless and often pointless quango. agreed, though self financing so cant see the deficit changing?
Cubit Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 agreed, though self financing so cant see the deficit changing? No, neither can i. A bit of smoke and mirrors me thinks. Looks like they're saving money.
hpotter Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 A bit of smoke and mirrors me thinks. reminds me, got to get back to optex re masking & smoke. been playing with 502am & a 4" fish tank on me week off. (dont ask, the madness of KG springs to mind)
james.wilson Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 Looks like the sia is being axed. Or at least it is in its current form. Id assume that it wont go completely, the govt have proposed it will stop being an NDPB (non-departmental public body). No news on the SIA website as yet. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
