In the news this week, it was announced, under new government plans to protect people in debt, that all government enforcement bodies (bailiffs, agents, council workers etc.) in England and Wales will now be required by law to wear body-worn cameras, in an aim to target ‘intimidation and aggression’ used by some bailiffs.
As the leading provider in technical security, Tavcom Training offers a one-day specialist Body Worn Video (BWV) course for all individuals involved in managing and using Body Worn Video equipment. Due to the intrusive and sensitive nature of BWV, it is essential that all personnel who are required to wear such equipment are fully aware of the policies and operational guidelines surrounding the practice.
