EP038 Sandi Davies IFPO CEO and Lifetime Achievement Award Winner (OSPA's) 2023
*Sandi J. Davies*
Sandi began her career in contract security in 1980 with a primary focus on personnel administration. She became deeply involved in training and was instrumental in developing Security Officer training programs for a major national guard company. Her interest in security training grew and in 1988 she joined the newly formed International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO), as a program administrative assistant. In 1991 she was elected executive director of the International Foundation for Protection Officers and has been a driving force in Foundation program development and administration. This includes the Certified Protection Officer (CPO) and Certified in Security Supervision and Management (CSSM) programs just to mention a few. To date over 160,000 individuals have become certified.
Since Sandi’s appointment to executive director of the IFPO it continues to expand and be seen by the security community as a leading association for security officers, supervisor and managers. Proudly this is the ‘one and only’ of its kind. Many hours have been identified for curriculum development which Sandi oversees and directs for current trends and requirements.
In 2020 by way of Sandi’s direction an IFPO RESEARCH project was launched. $75,000.00 was raised to conduct this research through Perpetuity Research which commenced in early 2021. This research project has been long overdue as the last much less involved research was conducted in 1988. The basis of this research includes understanding the complexities of security officers in the 21 century. The main reason for IFPO’s interest in this research is that well thought out documented proof is obtained so that the results can better provide the IFPO with the necessary tools to develop even more relevant security educational opportunities. As a result of this the IFPO created and had published by the USA Department of Labor the Security Officer and Patrol Services Competency Model.
2022 Sandi became the Chief Executive Officer of the IFPO.
Sandi became a member of the ASIS International in 1985 and has served in executive positions at the chapter level. Additionally, she served as chairperson for the Security Services Council.
Sandi's voluntary board involvement includes the following:
• Member of the Technical Advisory Board for the Canadian General Standards Board on Security Officer Training Standards.
• Member of the Advisory Board for the Northwest Territories Security Officer Certification Committee.
• Member of the Board of the International Foundation for Cultural Property Protection.
• Chairperson, for the Asset Protection Advisory Board for Mount Royal College in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
• Committee Member of the Institute for Professional Certification and Accreditation (IPCA).
• Committee Member for the ASIS International Private Security Officer Selection and Training Guideline.
• Served on the ASIS Internationals Private Security Officer Standard and Guidelines committee.
Ms. Davies has had numerous articles published in security publications such as Security Management, and Security Magazine relating to certifications and training of security personnel. In the early 90’s Ms. Davies in a cooperative effort with the IFPO Founding Director; Ronald R. Minion co-edited the Protection Officer Training Manual published by Butterworth-Heinemann. That text is now in its 9thEdition and drafts are already being prepared for the 10th Edition. In 1994 she contributed a chapter relating to Crime Prevention in Canada in a Butterworth-Heinemann text entitled “Handbook of Loss Prevention and Crime Prevention. In 1995 again in a cooperative effort Ms. Davies an

EP037 Kate Brassington: The Trauma Journey, Psychological Safety and Brave Spaces
BIO
Kate is a Coaching Psychologist, Trauma-Informed specialist, and British Psychological Society Graduate Member (GMBPsS). She actively destigmatises real mental health, and brings practical wisdom from the field of trauma to life. She helps leaders and managers faced with delivering sustained high-performance under pressure to achieve goals – but not “at all costs”.
Unlike many coaches, Kate has learnt to work WITH trauma, because she knows whether acknowledged or not, it is present all around us. Trauma isn’t only what most people think it is (the event, that happens to us), but is instead a reaction (what happens inside of us). This is why two people can be in the same event, one gets traumatised, the other bounces back.
This gives space not only for the Big traumas that people experience in events, but the background chronic traumas such as racism, sexism, bullying, that happen all around us… and indeed mini exposures that add up over time such as those experienced by First Responders – these together add up to chronic trauma.
Kate began working life as a British Army Logistics officer, her first command age 21 was of 50 people. She has since worked in public and commercial sectors, and as an Expert Witness on Employability after injury. Her own trauma occurred giving birth to her first child and sparked a career change into positive psychology and traumatology that she will never regret. She runs her private practice from Luxembourg, working with 1:1 clients worldwide.
You can continue the conversation with Kate on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/kate-brassington and read more about her work (and listen to her podcast Moving Beyond Trauma) on her website: https://katebrassington.com/

E033 Jonathan Wilson 'The Silent Threat in the Workplace'
Jonathan has over 28 years’ experience working for the Metropolitan Police (United Kingdom) with much of that time in senior leadership roles.
Jonathan’s police leadership required him to work with diverse communities, businesses, local authorities, across a number of government departments including the Home Office and Mayor of London’s office and internationally.
He has considerable experience in prevention strategies, legislative changes, working with vulnerable groups, and partnership work.
Jonathan retired from the Police Service in 2020 after a traumatic experience of workplace bullying, a period of his life that impacted on him considerably. He now dedicates much of his time to education and challenging workplace bullying behaviors which he says is entirely preventable and creating positive workplace culture.
Jonathan now talks widely across social media and to businesses in person about psychosocial safety at work.
He says, “Psychosocial safety is a leadership issue, and how you interact with people impacts their whole lives. It is therefore the most pressing issue of the contemporary workplace to master. Teaching your leaders interpersonal communications skills that empower not diminish. At the heart of bullying is always complex human dynamics and often unethical behaviours, corruption, discrimination, and harassment will emerge as the reason. Look deeper.”
Jonathan lives in Cornwall and has also established a business running holiday cottages which allows him to pursue the many outdoor activities he enjoys both on and off the water.#pledgetoendbullying#stophurtatwork
