The Security Industry Authority (SIA) regulates the private security industry in the UK
CHAS was created in 1997 by health and safety professionals to improve the overall health and safety standards across the UK. Once you have become CHAS certified, you must be audited annually to achieve and maintain your HSE’s Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) standard.

The SIA offer two licenses:
The first is the licensing of individuals in the private security industry. With this licensing, private security companies are able to hire only those who are qualified and fully trained.
The second is the Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) which assesses companies with independent criteria. With ACS, supplier companies abide by a core set of standards. Once accredited, companies achieve the Approved Contractor status. This independent accreditation is made available for purchasers to ensure the company’s commitment to quality.
JVR Consultancy offer your company all the support which is required to obtain any of the SIA accreditations mentioned above. Whether you are looking to obtain a new SIA licence or renew your current licence, we can support with both. Furthermore, we offer support with achieving the SIA ACS accreditation.
How JVR Consultancy helps you achieve SIA ACS accreditaton
We carry out a free gap analysis on your current policies and procedures and produce a report highlighting what you require to achieve any of the SIA accreditations. Once this has been established, JVR Consultancy will arrange a fixed price to carry out all the work required. In addition, we will be in attendance when the audit is carried out by the SIA to ensure that your company achieves the desired accreditation.
Our consultants cover the whole of the UK. For support or to arrange your free gap analysis, contact us on 01628 56 52 56.
Frequently Asked Questions from our Customers
Yes we can, we can assist you with any of the accreditation featured on our website. We have a 100% record of securing any of the accreditation in the first audit for all our customers for the last 13 years.
More to the point, I ask clients how quickly can you start. We can have a consultant working on your accreditation within the hour if you are ready. The only things that take time are the audit dates, these are issued to the client by the certification body so it is out of our control.
This depends on how much the client has in place already. The more they have, the easier it becomes to work on their accreditation. The gap analysis that we carry out is free of charge and afterwards will give you an exact fixed price.
The fixed price will include the following –
- Carry out all the work ( creating documents & processes tailored to your company )
- Attend the audit ( as your expert consultant ) or make the desktop submission.
- Make any corrections that the auditor may highlight to ensure that you obtain your accreditation the first audit.
Initially, we need to talk to you to carry out the free gap analysis. Afterwards, we would require you to forward all the relevant documents. After that, we can complete the work with the minimum of your input, leaving you to concentrate on doing what you do best for the company.
