Protecting Domestic Staff from Security Risks — The Forgotten Layer
The short version: Protecting Domestic Staff from Security Risks — The Forgotten Layer — published 2026 rates, working SIA playbook, insured. short-notice cover, subject to availability in London, nationwide by arrangement.
Domestic staff are often the most-exposed and least-briefed part of a UHNW household. Protecting them is partly duty of care, partly perimeter security — done well, both are served at once.
Pre-Hire Vetting
BS 7858 vetting on every household hire. Right-to-work, criminal record, employment history, social media review. Independently performed by the security provider, not the agency placing the candidate.
Induction Brief
First-day brief: NDA, photography policy, social-media policy, contractor protocol, lost-keys protocol, suspicious-contact reporting line. Acknowledged in writing. Refreshed annually.
Personal Safety for Staff
Where staff are travelling (school runs, deliveries, late shifts), they are covered by the standing residential protocol. Verified transport, named contact, check-in window. Not luxury — minimum standard.
Targeted-Approach Awareness
Bad actors approach staff to gain access. We brief on social-engineering attempts — phone, in-person, online — and provide a single reporting line. Reports handled confidentially, no blame culture.
Pricing — Staff Programme
Initial vetting + induction brief (per hire): priced per assignment. Annual refresh programme (whole household): priced per assignment/year. Integrated into family-office programmes at no extra cost.
