Working with Other Organisations
Lobbying and Activities
We are working with the following organisations:
Security Industry Authority (SIA) - There are a number of key areas where the Regulator offers the Institute opportunities to provide feedback, enter debate, and help to shape the future of regulation in the UK. Whilst they also encourage direct responses from individuals, it is undoubtedly more effective if the Institute as a whole is able to provide collated feedback and arguement, thus representing over 1000 security professionals.
Skills for Security (SfS) - We work closely with the Sector Skills body to develop higher standards and encourage training and edicuation. In particular many Institute members join in Focus Groups on setting and developing National Occupational Standards.
Demos - Demos is the think tank for everyday democracy. They believe everyone should be able to make personal choices in their daily lives that contribute to the common good. Their aim is to put this democratic idea into practice by working with organisations in ways that make them more effective and legitimate.Their partners include policy-makers, companies, public service providers and social entrepreneurs. Demos is not linked to any party but work with politicians across political divides. The Security Institute is keen to support their work.
