Police and Bouncers keeping you safe in Brighton

If you’re heading out to the bars and clubs of Brighton, local door security staff are working closely with Sussex Police to ensure student safety for this winter holiday.

Tonight, Friday 30 November, the Security Industry Authority’s (SIA) South East Partnerships and Interventions team and Sussex Police will be calling at Brighton’s top student pubs and clubs. They will share best-practice guidance on safer physical intervention for door supervisors as a reminder of how to keep their clients and themselves safe.

The aims of the event are to promote the importance of safer restraint and reduce any possible violence during the festive season.

The initiative marks the launch of a campaign in Brighton to improve students’ safety during the Christmas party season. The SIA team will share this poster and leaflets on Safer Physical Intervention for Door Supervisors with three top student pubs. It features guidance and illustrations of best practice for safer restraint. This is intended as a quick reminder for Door Supervision licence holders and relates to the training they received in physical intervention.
