‘Stay Safe, Tell Security’ urges new SIA winter safety campaign

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) has launched a new winter safety campaign - ‘Stay Safe, Tell Security’.

The initiative emphasises the importance of teamwork in public safety, encouraging the public, security professionals, and businesses to collaborate by staying vigilant and reporting anything unusual to licensed security staff or the police.

It is aimed at fostering public awareness of the responsibility we all share in keeping public spaces safe, while also highlighting the role of trained security operatives in promoting a secure and welcoming environment during the busy winter months.

Heather Baily, chair of the SIA said: "Public safety is a team effort, and we want the public to feel empowered to approach licensed security staff if they need help or see something troubling. The training that SIA licensed security operatives undergo equips them with safety-critical skills not only to protect but also to support the public in times of need.

"With training in identifying vulnerable individuals, delivering basic first aid, and responding to potential terrorist incidents, security operatives offer a first line of support for those in need. This winter, we encourage everyone to join us in staying alert and proactive, helping to keep our communities safe."

Keeping people safe this winter

The licensed security sector plays a critical part in public safety and responding to threats as and when they occur. This festive season, like all others, security operatives will be working hard to help keep the public safe in towns and cities across the UK.

Here at Venture Security, our security officers will be in action in town and city centres, and at events and venues across the region, throughout the festive period; helping promote and preserve public safety, while ensuring the smooth and safe running of events.

In tandem, our static guards and mobile security officers will be ensuring customer premises and assets are protected, with our specialist security operatives also busy providing remote monitoring of video surveillance systems.
