LEGAL SERVICES
The ASP provides the broadest range of legal help to union members in the UK. We offer advice and assistance not just with work issues, but for you and your family outside the workplace too.
At ASP, we believe every licensed security professional deserves fair treatment, proper facilities, and respect for the critical work they do. Unfortunately, across the industry we continue to see challenges that must be addressed:
-
Overly long shifts without proper breaks : staff wellbeing and alertness should never be compromised.
-
Lack of basic facilities : every assignment should meet minimum welfare standards.
-
Pay that doesn’t match responsibility : skilled, licensed personnel deserve rates that reflect their training, accountability, and professionalism.
We’re committed to advocating for these improvements, ensuring the security sector upholds the dignity and value of its people
