Championing Security Professionals: A Fairer Future with SIF
Future Vision
At the Security Industry Federation (SIF), we are dedicated to championing the rights and welfare of security professionals across the UK. Security workers are the backbone of public and workplace safety, yet they often face dangerous conditions, low pay, and limited recognition for their essential contributions. At SIF, we believe in standing together to create lasting change for our members and the entire security industry.
Our campaigns focus on the issues that matter most to security workers. From tackling violence and abuse against staff, to fighting for fair pay, better working conditions, and the enforcement of legal industry practices, SIF campaigns aim to ensure that security professionals are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.
With a collective voice, we amplify the concerns of security workers to policymakers, employers, and the public, driving improvements that benefit not just our members but the entire industry. Each campaign is rooted in the experiences of our members and supported by evidence-based research, ensuring that our actions have real impact.
By working together, we can make the security profession safer, more rewarding, and more respected. Whether you’re a seasoned security professional or new to the industry, your voice and participation are critical to the success of our campaigns. Together, we can shape a stronger, fairer future for everyone in the security industry.

Supporting ex-Armed Forces Security Workers
We value the immense experience and unique skills that ex-forces personal bring to the UK’s security industry which enriches us all. We are proud to be Bronze supporters of the Armed Forces Covenant. We fully support all of our ex-forces members and welcome all new members with a reminder that we also offer immediate support for mental health and wellbeing.
Too often our ex-forces personal are left to navigate civilian life with little to no real support but any of our members can speak to our trained counsellors 24hrs a day via telephone or face to face within 48hrs.
We need your help to signpost your employees or colleagues that have served and are currently working in security to join our trade union and let us protect them the way they protected us.
Safe Sick Pay for Security Workers
We support The Centre for Progressive Change’s Safe Sick Pay campaign which aims to raise the rate of Statutory Sick Pay. Many of our members have attended work whilst unfit just to avoid losing money. This is not just for a cold or a headache, these are people that have broken bones or having cancer treatment.
You can support this by writing to your MP here.
Join us in supporting the campaign to raise Statutory Sick Pay. We have an opportunity to take action and we desperately need your help.
Secure Pay for Security Workers
As a Living Wage Employer, the SIF believe in an industry-wide commitment to be a Living Wage accredited employer. To address this inequality, SIF is calling for all security employers to pay all staff the Real Living Wage of £12.60 (£13.85 in London), ensuring a fair standard of living for security professionals nationwide.

Like all trade unions, our strength comes from our members. The more we grow, the more power we have to fight for better pay, fair treatment, and improved working conditions for security professionals across the industry.
SIF General Secretary, Daniel Garnham, said:
“In the two years since I founded the SIF, we have grown into an established trade union within the security industry. I’m incredibly proud of how many members have joined us, it’s a testament to the dedication of the SIF team, who work tirelessly to represent and protect our members.
However, unions thrive on the support of their members, and it’s no secret that the larger the union, the stronger the bargaining power. By recommending a friend or colleague to join the SIF, you’re helping us grow and unionise a workforce that is too often underappreciated and underpaid. This is a call to action to be part of our growing trade union”.
