The Value of Women in the Security Industry

As we celebrate International Women's Day, it is crucial to highlight the vital role that women play in the security industry. At Carter Security, we are proud to be an inclusive and diverse workplace, ensuring that talented individuals, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to excel in security roles.

The Growing Presence of Women in Security

Traditionally, security has been seen as a male-dominated industry, but that perception is changing. More women are entering the field, bringing unique skills that enhance the effectiveness of security teams. Women are often excellent communicators, adept at conflict resolution, and provide a sense of reassurance in sensitive situations. These qualities make them invaluable assets in roles such as concierge security, event security, and patrol officers.

Carter Security recognises the importance of having a diverse team and actively encourages women to pursue careers in the security sector. We ensure that all our employees receive the highest level of training and support to help them succeed.

An Inclusive Workplace at Carter Security

We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. Women working in security often face unique challenges, and we work tirelessly to ensure a supportive and equal workplace. From offering flexible shift patterns to providing professional development opportunities, Carter Security strives to make security a viable and rewarding career choice for women.

Supporting Women's Safety with 'Ask for Angela'

As part of our commitment to safety, all Carter Security officers are trained in the 'Ask for Angela' scheme. This initiative allows individuals who feel unsafe to discreetly seek help in public venues by asking for 'Angela' at the bar or reception. Our officers are trained to respond swiftly and appropriately, ensuring those in distress receive the necessary support. Security is not just about deterrence; it is about creating safe environments for everyone. Having trained security personnel who understand these schemes ensures a proactive approach to public safety, particularly for women who may feel vulnerable.

Carter Security is proud to be a trusted security provider that values diversity and prioritises public safety. By supporting women in the security industry and implementing initiatives like 'Ask for Angela', we continue to set the standard for quality security services in the UK.

If you are looking for a security team that understands the importance of inclusivity and professionalism, Carter Security is here to help.
