Building Community Through Books: Our Visit to the Family Centre – Inverness 

At Securitay Ltd, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve. Last week, we had the privilege of visiting the Family Centre – Inverness, where we donated a fantastic selection of books and puzzles for children and families to enjoy. It was truly heartwarming to see the impact that access to books and educational resources can have on young minds.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to this initiative. Your generosity has helped to create a welcoming space filled with stories, learning, and creativity. It’s inspiring to see a community come together to support literacy and education, and we are proud to play a small part in that effort.

Once again, thank you to everyone who has donated, and to the Family Centre – Inverness for the amazing work they do every day. We can’t wait to visit again!

40 years of Securitay!

This February, we’re celebrating 40 years of Securitay! Since 1985, we’ve grown from a local business to one of the largest independent security providers in the East and North of Scotland. With 130 employees and an annual turnover exceeding £4 million, we’re proud to offer Manned Guarding, Mobile Patrol, Key Holding, Emergency Response, and CCTV Monitoring Services across the region.

Our success is thanks to the incredible people we’ve worked with—our dedicated team, customers, and suppliers. We’re also honored to be a preferred security provider for public sector bodies through the Scotland Excel framework, and proud of our Approved Contractor Status (ACS) and Safe Contractor and RoSPA accreditations.

As we look back at these photos, we’re reminded of the people who’ve been part of our journey. Do you recognize anyone? Here’s to the years ahead!

Supporting Children’s Wellbeing Through the Power of Books

At Securitay, we believe in making a positive impact in the communities we serve. That’s why we’re thrilled to have played a role in helping distribute the children’s book Worry Doll and Polita Puffin to children’s hospices, hospitals, and Maggie’s Centres across the UK and Ireland.

Abbey and her father, Rikki, created the remarkable book titled Worry Doll and Polita Puffin. This book, written and illustrated by Abbey and Rikki, was developed as a free resource for children dealing with long-term conditions and serious illnesses, including life-limiting conditions.

Securitay offered logistical support to distribute the book and now every children’s hospice and hospital across the UK and Ireland has received multiple copies of Worry Doll and Polita Puffin. Additionally, we are thrilled to announce that this latest delivery ensures that every Maggie’s Centre in the UK will now also have copies of the book available.

The process of creating and distributing Worry Doll and Polita Puffin has been a testament to the power of teamwork, making a significant impact, and we are deeply grateful for this partnership.

With gratitude,
Securitay

Deafblind Awareness Week 27 June – 3 July 2021

Securitay are proud to support Deafblind Awareness Week

Deafblindness is far more common than many people realise… around 400,000 people are affected by sight and hearing loss in the UK. That’s enough to fill Wembley Stadium nearly five times!

It affects everyone differently, some might need to adjust the settings on their TV or turn up the volume on the phone, and others might need assistance dogs, canes and more formal care. There may be no physical signs of partial sight or deafness therefore it is important that we make all our staff are aware that in the course of their daily duties they may encounter someone who is partially sighted or deaf. Securitay has undertaken to provide specific “deafblindness aware” training to all frontline staff.

Share the story

This year, we are asking everyone to share the story of deafblindness. So, be aware of deafblindness, understand how to help someone who has it and to tell someone else about it, to help spread the word. The more people who understand the condition, the more we can make life a little easier for people who are affected by it. By working together, we can make a huge difference!

Visit https://deafblind.org.uk/deafblind-awareness-week for downloadable content to help you pass on the message and spread the word!

And don’t forget to use the hashtag #DeafblindAwarenessWeek in all your posts!

New SIA qualifications for our industry

Securitay welcomes the new qualifications for our industry which come into force this year.

Sia Approved Contractor

Extract from a statement from the SIA:                                                                                                                                                       

The private security industry is increasingly recognised as providing an important role in the protection of the public. This recognition brings scrutiny, and it is more important than ever that the industry maintains and improves its standards. It is crucial that all operatives have the knowledge and skills to deal with common risks in safety critical areas. A key element of our role as the regulator is to work with the industry to raise standards in private security. The new requirements will help to achieve this. The new licence-linked qualifications reflect what we have learned from extensive research, consultation, and engagement.
