As part of our continued commitment towards providing our clients with the highest levels of service delivery, K9 Support Services UK has been accepted into the Security Industry Authority Approved Contractor Scheme.

Choosing an ACS accredited supplier for the provision of your contract security services will help you to meet your security obligations to your staff, shareholders and other stakeholders.

Approved contractors are demonstrably committed to customer service and the compulsory licensing of their staff. This means their customers can rest assured that every private security operative deployed on their premises will be working within the law.

K9 Support Services UK has attained UKAS accreditation for its quality management system (ISO 9001:2000) for the provision of detection dog/handling services, incorporating the requirements of BS 7858 (Screening & Vetting of Security Personnel), BS 7499 (Static Site Guarding & Mobile Patrols) BS 8517-1 (Use of Security Dogs) BS 8517-2 (Use of Detection Dogs) SIA licensing and the training of personnel and dogs engaged in detection dog handling services. The attainment of UKAS accreditation is external proof of K9 Support Services UK ongoing commitment to quality service. (Certificate 6246).

K9 Support Services UK has been externally assessed and accredited with the Investors In People Award.

Our commitment to meeting the criteria for the award was made in July 2009 and as a result of having ISO systems plus solid recruitment, training and continuing professional development programmes already in place, the criteria for IIP was easily exceeded on the first assessment visit.

We recognise that our most important assets are our employees and providing a workplace that nurtures staff whilst encouraging ideas and innovation is essential both for staff retention and quality service delivery to our customers.
