He's got the fact it's not an indictable offence going against him though, as well as the SIA that will likely go against him too for using anything that went to the floor as a restraint. If no indictable offence has been committed and there's no imminent risk to the safety of yourself or others then using what's considered the most dangerous intervention is going to do you absolutely no favors. We know why he's done it, it's bollocks but as TD said, there's going to be a quite a bit to answer for. It's all governing body nonsense with the SIA, then there's the law of course.

This case will be used for something that's been pushed for a while now and lead to a few or/and scenario's for reform within SIA training.

The first will be the merger of the Security Guard and Door Supervision Licence so that everyone will be made to complete Physical Intervention training/or the introduction of Physical Intervention to the Security Guard module, the latter being a pointless one as they're the same course without PI for the SG one.

This second one has been discussed with Aegis trainers and brought up to SIA rep's on numerous occasions, this case will now be used to push further that Physical Intervention requirements and assessments should last more than a single day. As it stands, the PI module consists of 13 different interventions. (restraints and conflict management) They believe it should be extended to 3 days minimum and if need be, a week. They'd like to see more added to the interventions to cover exactly this, ground work because it's amazing how many doormen will still stick their knee in someones neck whilst the poor sods face down, that's a serious red flag in a world of Health and safety red tape. I say poor sod but he could be a right bellend, you still shouldn't be doing it though, there's far safer ways to restrain someone that are just as effective whilst reducing the risk ten fold. Why don't the SIA teach you ground restraints properly then? As above, The SIA's stance is they don't want you taking anyone to the floor.

Another is for Licence holders to complete one day of upskilling per year (refresher)

The last isn't SIA related, Aegis want certain employers, mostly door supervision and protection services to offer better work to people Aegis certified, obviously promoting themselves there but of course promoting better training all round.

I can't sit and say, yeah I'd never have done that because blah blah, it's not that simple, anything can happen in the heat of the moment.
