Details

In June 2021 the Manchester Arena Inquiry published its report ‘Manchester Arena Inquiry Volume 1: Security for the Arena’. This report made 2 monitored recommendations that were addressed to both the SIA and the Home Office.

The recommendations were:

• MR7 - The requirement that only those monitoring CCTV under a contract for services need to hold an SIA licence should be reviewed
• MR8 - Consideration should be given to whether contractors who carried out security services should be required to be licensed

On 30 September 2021, the SIA submitted an interim update to the Inquiry on these recommendations. This update comprised 2 documents:

1. A letter from Michelle Russell, Acting Chief Executive of the SIA.
2. An annex to Michelle’s letter, providing more detail.
