NASDU is a not for profit Membership Association run by its Members for the benefit of both its Members and the wider private security industry dog sector.<\/p>\n

NASDU is responsible for the development of standards and training within the UK\u2019s private security dog sector and is acknowledged by the SIA (Security Industry Authority), the Home Office, BSI (British Standards Institute) and the industry\u2019s Sector Skills Body SFS (Skills for Security).<\/p>\n

Over the past few years NASDU has been involved with the development of National Occupational Standards (NOS), the first academic qualifications for Security Dog Handlers based on original NASDU training programmes and the first British Standard for Security Dog Handling (BS 8517 Part 1 and Part 2) for which the NASDU Code of Practice was used as it basis.<\/p>\n

NASDU Associate Membership is available to any Company or individual that provides contract guarding and\/or operational deployment of security dogs and whilst they are not inspected they have made a written commitment to abide by all relevant Codes of Practice together with the recommendations and guidance contained in BS 8517-1:2009 for General Purpose Dogs and BS 8517-2:2010 for Detection Dogs.\u00a0 Associate Companies who feel that the above does not differentiate enough between those that just meet the standard and those that exceed the standard can consider the Inspected Company route.<\/p>\n

NASDU like any Association or Trade Body has no legal powers of enforcement other than expulsion and subject to the content of any concern\/complaint (received in writing) this shall be considered for which we may request further information from you.<\/p>\n

NASDU does not and will not get involved with internet forums or social media networks.<\/p>\n
