Hey guys, I'm a security guard for many years. I love my job and had never had any problem ... until a few days ago, in which a boy entered the store where I was working and attacked me. The company doesn’t want to pay me a compensation so please respond, what can I do?

Hi all, the company I work for wants to set up an event for 150 people. How many security people should we hire?

My friend is a security guard employed by a security company in Slough He has worked for them for about 5 years and has been working in the same placement for about 2 years. He was told by a co-worker within the placements organisation that the position he is fulfilling has been advertised and the co-workers recommended he apply. If he were to get the job would the security company be entitled to any form of payment for effectively poaching of a member of their staff? If so any idea how much? He is reluctant to tell the security company he is looking for another job. thanks

Security guards play a key role in the field of UK crime prevention. Positions are available in all areas of the country, across a range of industry sectors. Those working in this position should be highly-responsible, ensuring the safety of others, as well as the security of clients’ onsite property
No experience is necessary for some positions, while others prefer some kind of security background. However, an SIA license is a must for those working in the sector. In addition, those working in the construction site security may require a CSCS card, though full training is normally provided for this.
The SIA license requires applicants to complete a short course in security, a criminal background check and a mental health check. Jobs which provide on-the-job training offer an exemption from the training part of the SIA
Working as a security guard often involves shift and weekend work, while temporary contracts are also common. Hourly pay can vary, but tends to meet, or just exceed, the national minimum wage. The average salary for a full-time position is £19,400, with the highest paid positions in the east of England.
