The Director of Safeguarding at the Home Office, Jeremy Oppenheim, spoke about the way that the Home Office’s priority to protect vulnerable people relates to the SIA.
He explained that security staff are ideally placed to see what looks usual and what is not, as there are large numbers of private security officers who are eyes and ears on the front line.
For example, security staff working on the doors of pubs and clubs, in hotels, hospitals or capturing CCTV images interact with the general public and can spot vulnerability indicators. |
