he Security Institute AGM provided an opportunity to reflect on 2021, share plans for the future and for Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal to provide an insight into her interest in public safety and security.


Introducing the Security Institute


The Security Institute is a not-for-profit, professional membership organisation and part of the ‘learned societies’ within the UK, described in the AGM report as: “The professional organisation best equipped to represent a broad spectrum of security professionals from all disciplines of the field.”


Highlights from 2021


The AGM report illustrated in numbers the Security Institute achievements in 2021:


• 4,308 members • 917 group members • 41 physical and virtual events held • 50 corporate partners • 241 Chartered Security Professionals from management of the CSyP Register


• 567 CPD records completed • 14 Special Interest Groups


Outgoing Chief Executive Rick Mounfield CSyP FSyI highlighted further successes for 2021, including achieving ISO 9001:2015, digital transformation in key processes and a collection of awards, including six members who were finalists in the City Security magazine Article of the Year Award. Rick welcomed Angela Vernon-Lawson CSyP FSyI as the new Chief Operating Officer and wished her and the rest of the Security Institute staff, directors and members every success.


Chairman’s Reflections


Chairman Peter Lavery FSyI reflected on a great year for the Institute with an increase in membership by 15.6%, the move to new head office in Nuneaton and the news that The Princess Royal had graciously consented to be the Royal Patron.


Peter’s update in the AGM report reviewed a packed year of activity, including Institute events such as the Gala Awards in November, The Young Members’ Group events and the recent launch of the Protecting People in Crowded Places Special Interest Group.


Peter explained how a Directors’ Strategy Day led to the development of five new strategic pillars which will focus the future work of the Institute: Membership Experience; Professionalism; Next Generation in Security; Influence; and Ethics, Equality, Diversity and


Inclusion (ED&I): “The five strategic objectives underpin what we’re trying to achieve in the institute with each of those pillars having two or more directors working together to lead continuous improvement.” A representative director from each pillar provided an update to the AGM.


Membership Experience – Director Tony Aston FSyI outlined existing benefits, including the validation process – which ensures the credibility of all members – and the range of professional development platforms available.


Professionalism – Director Carl Dakin CSyP FSyI highlighted how the Institute supports members’ professional development, including the CPD scheme, CPD events, the training and learning programme and 14 Special Interest Groups.


Next Generation in Security – Director Paul Barnard CSyP MSyI explained the need for a change in the narrative with young people, to demonstrate that security is relevant to all and can be a career of choice. The Security Institute will continue leading initiatives including the NextGen programme and Secure Futures programme.


Influence – Director Andy Watkin-Child CSyP MSyI Introduced how this pillar aims to influence government, society and industry. The ambition is to improve engagement, share information and increase the media profile.
