Vetting Process

Trust is everything. That’s why every member of our security team undergoes a strict and thorough vetting process before stepping onto any site. Our vetting procedures go beyond the industry standard to ensure that our clients receive only the most reliable, professional, and accountable personnel.

Rigorous Screening for Trusted Security Personnel

At A&G Security and Events, trust is everything. That’s why every member of our security team undergoes a strict and thorough vetting process before stepping onto any site. Our vetting procedures go beyond the industry standard to ensure that our clients receive only the most reliable, professional, and accountable personnel.

Whether we’re providing event security, manned guarding, close protection, or control room support, our clients can be confident that each individual has been fully screened for competence, integrity, and compliance.

Our 5-Stage Vetting Process

1. Identity Verification & Right to Work

We check and confirm each applicant’s identity documents and legal right to work in the UK in accordance with Home Office guidelines.

2. Criminal Record Checks (DBS)

All applicants undergo Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks. Enhanced DBS checks are conducted where roles require work with vulnerable people or sensitive environments.

3. Employment History & References

We request five years of employment history, including references from previous employers, to verify experience and reliability.

4. SIA Licence Validation

Every operative must hold a valid SIA licence relevant to their role. We validate each licence directly through the Security Industry Authority’s online database.

5. Character & Competency Assessment

We assess each candidate’s attitude, communication skills, situational awareness, and suitability for the specific environments they may work in. For certain roles, we also conduct psychological or stress-response evaluations.

Ongoing Checks & Performance Reviews

Vetting doesn’t stop at recruitment. We continually monitor and assess our staff’s performance and conduct, ensuring they remain compliant and aligned with A&G’s professional standards. This includes:
