Security Industry Authority Licensing Regulations within the Industry

"i too agree on the new legislation but think its absurd to expect anyone to become licensed in the time allocated - considering until a month or 2 ago there were no where near enough authorised providers!!!"

"I am a Home Office approved trainer of instructors in conflict management, defensive tactics and an expert witness for use of force. The issue of current qualifications needs to be re-visited for operatives with relevant experience. The training is a good"

"Trade & Industry should be made responsible for regulating our industry"

"Another one of tony's boloney!"

"Better organization and direct dialogue is neede to defuse this potential Government blunder"

"Poorly implemented regulations like this encourage professional and well paid individuals like myself to emigrate. British trained security workers are in demand the world over, as the experienced and professional members leave for more sensible operating"

"is this just another money making sceme"

"Some very fine colleagues in this industry are spending too much time and money retraining for a job they have been doing most excellently for many years. These respected professionals are in danger of losing their livelihood to non-regulated foreign nati"

"this is ludicris, un planned, badly orginized, rushed and who gave the sia all the training to determine who should have their livelyhood taken away"

"It's a fiasco"

"I worked in the UK Security Industry when SITO was introduced. Complete and utter waste of money and time. The Goverment seems intent on these sort of courses for everything. I think ministers should be dealing with bigger problems as opposed to finding m"

"just like this goverment to stop an other group of workers working in thier own land and doing nothing to stop the rest????"

"Although I do agree with Licensing security operators, the SIA is being pushed too fast through the legislative procedure. Furthermore, those who are implementing the Licensing appear to be absolutely clueless as to the needs of the operators. Surely this"

"CLOSE PROTECTION- BODYGUARD OPERATIVE/GSI MEMBER SPAIN"

"Due to the length of time abroad working it is impossible for someone like myself to meet these deadlines. I'm serving the Coalition in Iraq and stand to be prosecuted. I feel this is unreasonable. Thank you."
