From May 2005, it has become a legal requirement that those who carry out
clamping duties on private property are to carry and clearly display there SIA Licence issued by the Security Industry Authority.
Capital Carpark Control has welcomed the licensing of our staff, as not only does it improve standards throughout the industry but our staff are proud to carry such a licence while carrying out there enforcement operations.
Every member of staff who carry a SIA licence have undergone external training to nationally approved standards in all legal aspects of there jobs, including parking enforcement operations, health and safety including conflict management Btec Level 2 standard.
They have attended and passed exams produced by national examining bodies and have also undergone identity and criminal record checks to determine there suitability for the positions they occupy. Therefore, proudly wear there licences whenever on duty. Not only does this show there achievement but it advertises to the public that they are an official operator.
If you as a client, engage a contractor who operates without the necessary licenses, you could find yourself liable for any illegal wheel clamping that is carried out on your behalf. This carry’s either a £5000 fine and/or 6 months imprisonment.
We advise that you ensure your contractor fully complies with the legal requirements as Capital Carpark Control does.
