When parents send their children off to University they expect the experience to be one of learning, not just academically but also socially, to prepare them for the rest of their lives. Most are not naive enough to think that University is purely an academic experience and understand that many students are forced or choose to take part time work to cover the every day costs of living, as well as the odd night out.

But parents also expect their children to be entering a safe and controlled environment, but nowhere is immune from the scourge of gun crime and in this case someone’s son took on a part time job working as a security steward and found himself on the front line and gunned down in the process of his work.

We run both National Certificate for Door Supervisors (NCDS) as well as Conflict Management and Resolution courses (CMR) and Physical Intervention courses (PI) for those people working in venues at Universities and Student Unions in these front line positions and other areas where they may face aggression and violence in their workplace.

We do not claim to be able to eliminate this kind of freak occurrence, but we can successfully train staff to reduce the levels of conflict they face in the workplace through management of the situations they encounter and the teaching of conflict resolution skills.


We have over 15 years of experience of working with and alongside young adults and students in the security and licensed retail sector within Universities and Students’ Unions and pride ourselves on our ability to communicate and train this demographic effectively.
