The newly formed S12 Security Guarding Leadership Group has initiated a comprehensive consultation process aimed at identifying and prioritising the key areas that will shape its future agenda. This noteworthy move follows the group’s inaugural meeting with the Security Minister, the Security Industry Authority (SIA), and the Home Office.
The S12 is actively seeking input from a broad spectrum of security professionals, businesses, clients, and stakeholders within the guarding industry to gather diverse perspectives on the most significant challenges and opportunities currently faced by the sector.
The insights collected from the consultation will be pivotal in deciding which workstreams should be prioritised. This ensures the group’s efforts are directed towards initiatives that promise substantial benefits for the industry and the public at large.
The consultation survey will remain open until 3 pm on Wednesday 15th October.
Once the consultation closes, the S12 Leadership Group will meet on 17th October to evaluate the responses, confirm the final workstreams, and appoint a dedicated S12 member to lead each one. The objectives of these workstreams will then be presented by the S12 Chair to the Security Minister on 21st October.
Subsequent to this presentation, the newly appointed leads will commence direct engagement with the industry. This step involves forming working groups to advance the objectives of each workstream.
The confirmed workstreams will be formally announced to the industry and stakeholders by 24th October.
The S12 is inviting security professionals, businesses, clients, and stakeholders from across the guarding sector to share their views on the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the industry. This collective input will play a crucial role in determining which workstreams should be prioritised, ensuring that the group’s efforts are focused on delivering meaningful impact for the sector and wider public.
