Haven a lot of door supervisors criticised the SIA licensing scheme?
A. There are door supervisors that are very pleased with the new licensing. It is alsoimportant to remember that we have the overwhelming support of the industry – not a single legitimate security business opposes what we are doing. They, like us, want professional, well trained, qualified door staff working in pubs and clubs, and mostimportantly so do the public. There are many benefits for SIA licensed door supervisors and door supervisor managers. The SIA licence is a national licence that cuts across all local authority boundaries allowing greater flexibility for individuals and employers; it’s arecognised symbol of skill and probity, it’s a mark of trust.
