our story

New methods, new standards, a necessary change.

The Security Skills Board was established in March 2022. Our vision for the future of the security sector is simple – drive improvement, deliver an effective service, protect the public and ensure the confidence of customers and stakeholders. New methods, new standards, a necessary change.

We are that change.

Our aim is to be the industry advocate for essential sector skills; a single point of contact for invested parties of many kinds.

In partnership with key stakeholders from the wider industry, educational institutions, regulatory and Government bodies and security professionals, we will meet the need for enhanced professionalism in the private security sector. Our focus is the ‘3 Cs’ – Capacity, Capability and Career Development.
