SPRING 2016

Recently, a lot of security companies and security guards that are deployed by the company are facing sentences for various offences under the Private Security Industry Act 2001, and the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981. In addition, in one particular case a security company went on to plead guilty at court for five offences that they had committed in relation to the supply of unlicensed security guards. The security company was sending them to five different construction sites over an 18 month period, involving seven unlicensed security guards being deployed in over 500 shifts. Security companies are also getting caught and pleading guilty for giving out false information and claiming to be an accredited SIA approved contractor, when they are not. Here at Skysharp Security Services Ltd we are an SIA approved contractor, you can check this on their website too. In the future, if you are to work for any security company, please check beforehand that they are a SIA approved contractor.

Moreover, some ‘security officers’ try using false SIA licenses. Keep in mind that we do not tolerate these actions taking part in our company. We make thorough checks before we employ any security guard, and check if the SIA license they have is valid by SIA or not. Fake CSCS cards can also be detected. Finally, a message I would like to send to all our staff is that if your SIA licenses are nearly expiring then please remember to update the license and renew it. The license expiry date is listed clearly on the SIA license.

WINTER 2016 “Terrorism”

In regards to the recent events that have occurred in Paris, as a security company we want to reinforce the message of the government to all our staff. It is crucial, that if any issue is to arise please report to the anti-terrorist hotline. In addition, us being a part of the EU and having links with the Paris, means that the UK is in a high risk of attack. Moreover, if by any means you witness something or are aware of any terrorist related actions occurring, call the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321. All of our SIA approved security officers are fully trained and have approved qualifications one of which is counter terrorism awareness, along with looking out for hostile reconnaissance. As a company we will be doing our best to go over this with our security officers in order to refresh their memories and make them more aware of what to do if situations were to occur during their work place. Here at Skysharp Security Services, we all are one team and here to help and guide each other. If you require any more information, or have any questions in regards to this situation and how you could be more informed in how to deal with it, please do not hesitate to ask us.

We have passed our SIA audit and have scored higher marks then ever before, the auditor was very pleased with the company’s performance and the quality assurance practises. He was equally please with the warm welcome he received from the management and he stated that “the company’s performance in regards to the structure and management has improved substantially from give years ago.” The Auditor was very please with every department from the Operations, HR Management to the Security Officers.

Also The Security Industry Authority has also recently announced that they are developing a new and easier way for individual applicants to apply for their SIA licence. An agreement has been signed with the Post Office to launch the new service. The service will be introduced this autumn and will make applying for a new SIA licence easier and cheaper; applicants will no longer need to routinely send in documents and a photograph, which can be costly and inconvenient.
