The safety of the public is key to the role of a security operative; therefore, it is essential that security operatives can communicate effectively in English. They are likely in the course of their work to have to make calls to the emergency services, or to need to resolve conflict. Good communication skills are essential to reducing conflict management and minimising the need to use physical interventions.
