Door supervisor

About door supervisors' licences

Anyone wishing to work as door supervisors or security staff at licensed venues such as pubs and nightclubs or similar premises must be licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA).

The Security Industry Authority is the authority responsible for regulating the private security industry throughout the country. Our Licensing Enforcement Officers and the Police have the power to undertake routine checks of door staff to ensure that they are in possession of their Security Industry Authority issued identity badge.
