Date: 10 February 2010
Venue: London, UK
The OSCT will hold a day of briefings for the security industry in central London on Wednesday 10 February 2010. The OSCT is grateful for the assistance of the UK Security & Resilience Industry Suppliers' Community (RISC, which is the alliance of three major trade associations: BSIA, A|D|S and Intellect), which is assisting the OSCT in the organisation of this event.
Which companies should attend?
The day is designed for and will appeal to the security guarding and escorting industry (predominantly members of the BSIA) – specifically companies that:
- provide guarding services across the UK;
- manage and move prisoners, many of whom are vulnerable people;
- protect many parts of the National Infrastructure and crowded places.
The day will also be relevant to other segments of the security industry (including any member of RISC's trade associations), and they may therefore wish to attend.
Who should attend?
The briefings are aimed at the people who will communicate the key messages throughout their companies, act upon these messages to enhance how these companies operate, and therefore contribute the most to the Government's CONTEST strategy. We therefore envisage that the most appropriate people in your company to attend will be for example directors, business managers, security operations managers, quality managers, process improvement managers, training managers and personnel managers.
