Security, Events and FM
Standards within the security profession are rising driven by a combination of regulation, qualifications and discerning employers and commissioners who recognise the value of well trained staff. Private and in-house security teams operate across diverse roles and settings, each with unique needs, challenges and risks. Understanding and adapting to these differing needs is vital if training is to be relevant and stimulate change in behaviours.
Maybo has played a leading and influential role advising government regulators and awarding organisations on the development of security training competencies, qualifications and best practice.
Maybo is the preferred choice of most major security and event providers and many in-house teams covering events, retail, licensed retail, transport, healthcare and universities. Most security personnel at the 2012 Olympics will undergo Maybo training.
Our conflict management, physical intervention and event security incident response progammes deliver core regulatory requirements and additional modules for dealing with higher levels of violence.
Maybo helps employers to assess the risks associated with the role and tasks performed and to identify the level of training required. We also provide tools to coach and refreshing knowledge and skills in the workplace. As true specialists in violence reduction we provide reassurance through access to advice on policy, procedures and incident management.
