My Department’s security contract is with Secureway at Risk Security (SAR) group. SARs wrote to the Department in July 2017 to advise that they had implemented the Employment Regulation Order (ERO) hourly rate increase from the 1st June 2017.

Only one of the statutory bodies operating under the aegis of my Department has security contracts. The Citizens Information Board (CIB) directly engage the following security firms:-

- C & C Security Ltd

- AP Systems Ltd

- Synergy Security Solutions

- Orbit Security Ltd.

These firms are all fully compliant with the new employment regulation order and CIB has received written confirmation from each of their compliance.

Please note that this only applies to CIB offices and not the wider network of MABS/CIS’s.
