We have produced a factsheet that outlines our latest proposals for the future regulation of the private security industry.
The document outlines the key components of future regulation: a new regulatory body outside government; the licensing of businesses; the registration of individuals who are fit and proper to work in the private security industry; underpinned by effective compliance and enforcement.
Formal proposals will go out to public consultation in 2012 and will be subject to final approval from the Home Office - future regulation in Scotland and Northern Ireland will be subject to decision by the devolved administrations. A separate consultation on the position of future regulation in Northern Ireland will be undertaken by the Department of Justice; the SIA's draft plan will form part of this consultation.
