Door supervisors and Security Guards: Key Workers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of recognising security guards and door staff as key workers.

Answer

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) has provided clarification on when security guards and door staff are considered to be critical workers.

This status does not necessarily apply to entire sectors but is rather conditional based on the role an individual is performing. The SIA’s statement can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/news/covid-19-critical-worker-status
