New Guideline on Security Staff

Someone obviously didn't bother to tell AP that it's still in draught phase and hasn't been finalised yet!

Jules didn't mention that....


definitely a step in the right direction though.
 
It was marked 'Draft' but the SIA published anyway, pretty much showing the level of their intelligence!

Edit:

In fact you can see that on Page 1:

Form No. Draft Issue 1

Jules tweeted it out after they published as there wasn't a need to keep it under wraps any longer.

My step-son is an Area Manager for the company that provides security to all of the Tesco sites in the UK, I'll ask him what he knows about it and if it will be automatically sent to all SIA badge holders ie Door staff, guards etc or whether it will be sent to the employers of badge holders.
 
I'll print this out and make sure my managers get it :)
There's never been any problems at the building I work in but always handy to have for any relief guards.
 
Good stuff, and about time. I'd like to see this becoming a compulsory part of the licensing of guards. Anyone know if this is the case?

As far as I can see, the only drawback is that the frothing teddy throwers who sometimes show up around here will now be looking for something new to get all indignant and shouty about. UV filters, HDR, unpaid publications, Marmite... or will we get some original arguments, which would make a refreshing change? :D

Im genuinely saddened that this was needed.
I am pleased to say that the entire security team where I work has been adhering to the rules regarding photography for years, but I am aware that that isnt the experience of most photographers.
Ah well, little steps forward.
 
Security personnel won't take any notice is my betting, its the jobs worth thing again.

Aye, the ones you hear about, they do tend to seem to be the type who're on a power trip, and no amount of education will fix that.
Just gotta hope it affects those borderline guards.
 
I think the big word here is `Guideline` which basically means they can ignore it if they wish. So really it`s completely useless.
 
I doubt it will make any difference.
 
Good to see, but I won't hold my breath about it making much difference.

Is there such a thing as a map that shows what is deemed to be public and private areas in London?

Given the complexity of land ownership in London it would be next to useless, particularly in the city where lots of apparently public areas are in fact not.
 
Doubt it will make much difference. A lot of the security guards I have come across seem to have difficulty fully understanding basic English, never mind being able to read it!
