Change Board Members of the Security Industry Authority Change Courses Content

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The SIA needs to include on its Board members that have sector security experience to understand the importance of the delivery of proper fit for purpose courses both in content and duration where any client receives a proper service. Presently, courses remain unfit for purpose as a result.
The SIA substitute's sector knowledge and experience with various 'Consultations With Industry Stakeholders'. Yet, after 13 years the process has proven to be unworkable; the industry still has ineffective training courses that remain entirely unfit for purpose.

Through SIA Board member change and implementing proper training core competencies, service levels would improve, satisfaction to the consumer would improve and the generally low wages to the security worker would be increased.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions about appointments. That includes calling for a someone to be removed from or given a job.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
