Training providers can develop their own role plays, but must ensure that scenarios represent a typical search. The scenario must also allow the security guard to explain to a customer what their right to search is, and shows that they know the appropriate method of searching. Each participant in the role play should be given a brief beforehand. An example of a brief for the security guard is as follows; You are the security guard controlling access and egress to a construction site. There have been thefts of fittings from the site recently, and a new policy has been introduced whereby all bags belonging to workers on the site will be searched as they leave the site. You are responsible for conducting a search. The second participant in the role play must be given a compatible brief that allows the scenario to work and reflect a realistic situation. An example of a brief that would complement the above would be; You are a worker on a construction site. You are on your way home. You have your bag with some personal in. You have nothing to hide, but don’t like the idea of a stranger looking through your bag. You don’t want to trouble for yourself but wonder what gives the guards the right to look through your bag. Where the training provider has developed their own scenario, then a copy of this must be retained so that the awarding body has a record.
