SIA launch security checker

Published on 29 Feb 2008

The Security Industry Authority have launched an online license checker that will allow employers to verify that staff are licensed holders.

The Company Licence Checker (CLC) is linked to the SIA's public Register of Licence Holders. The CLC allows employers to create lists of licence holders who work for their company and to check the status of those licences quickly and easily in real time. Previously, employers were only able to search and check one licence at a time. The new facility instantly highlights any employees' licences that have been suspended or revoked.

The SIA is encouraging security companies to register and obtain a User ID and password and to start using this facility.

Companies that have already registered with the SIA (as company users) can use their existing user ID and password to start taking advantage of this service.
