Policies
Privacy Policy
GENERAL
Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd is committed to a policy of equal opportunities for all and shall adhere to such a policy at all times and will review on an on-going basis on all aspects of recruitment to avoid unlawful or undesirable discrimination. Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd will treat everyone equally irrespective of sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, race, colour, religion, ethnic or national origin and places an obligation upon all staff to respect and act in accordance with the policy. Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd is committed to providing training for all its staff in equal opportunities practice.
Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd shall not discriminate unlawfully when deciding which candidate/temporary worker is submitted for a vacancy or assignment, or in any terms of employment or terms of engagement for temporary workers. Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd will ensure that each candidate is assessed only in accordance with the candidate’s merits, qualification and ability to perform the relevant duties required by the particular vacancy.
SEX AND RACE DISCRIMINATION
Unlawful sex or race discrimination occurs in the following circumstances:
Direct discrimination
Under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and the Race Relations Act 1976 direct discrimination occurs where one individual treats another individual less favourably on grounds of their sex or race than he treats or would treat other persons.
It is unlawful for a company to discriminate against a person on the grounds of their sex, colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origins:
– in the terms on which the company offers to provide any of its services;
– by refusing or omitting to provide any of its services;
– in the way it provides any of its services.
Direct discrimination would also occur if a company accepted and acted upon a job registration from a client which states that certain persons are unacceptable because of their sex, colour, race, nationality, or ethnic or national origins, unless one of the exceptions applies.
Indirect Discrimination
A claim of indirect discrimination arises when an employer applies a requirement or condition generally, but which is such a proportion of persons from one racial group who can comply with it is considerably smaller than the proportion of persons not of that racial group who can comply with it.
Indirect discrimination would also occur if a company accepted and acted upon an indirectly discriminatory instruction from an employer.
Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd will not discriminate unlawfully when selecting candidates or temporary workers for a vacancy or assignment or in any terms of employment or terms of engagement for temporary workers.
If the vacancy falls within the definition of a genuine occupational qualification or any other statutory exception Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd will not deal further with the vacancy unless the client provides written confirmation of the genuine occupational qualification.
DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION
Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, disability discrimination occurs if for a reason which relates to the disabled person’s disability an individual:
– treats him less favourably than he treats, or would treat others to whom that reason does not or would not apply, and,
– the employer cannot show that the treatment in question is justified.
Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd will not discriminate against a disabled job applicant or employee on the grounds of disability:
– in the arrangements i.e. application form, interview and arrangements for selection for determining to whom a job should be offered; or
– in the terms on which employment or engagement of temporary workers is offered; or
– by refusing to offer, or deliberately not offering the disabled person a job for reasons connected with their disability; or
– in the opportunities afforded to the person for receiving any benefit, or by refusing to afford, or deliberately not affording him or her any such opportunity; or
– by subjecting him or her to any other detriment (detriment will include refusal of training, transfer, demotion, reduction of wage; or harassment).
Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd will accordingly make career opportunities available to all people with disabilities and every practical effort will be made to provide for the needs of staff, candidates and clients.
AGE DISCRIMINATION
Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd will encourage clients not to include any age criteria or other subjective criteria in job specifications and every attempt will be made to persuade clients to recruit on the basis of competence and skill and not age.
COMPLAINTS AND MONITORING PROCEDURES
Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd has in place procedures for dealing with complaints of discrimination. These are available from the Administration Assistant and will be made available immediately upon request.

What we Do
Our Services
Detection Dogs
We respect our dogs for a reason: they are the best at what they do! Our detection dogs have proven this to be the case again and again.
Security Dogs
We bring the same emphasis on attention to detail, de-escalation and quiet efficiency to all of our dog-handling services.
Manned Guards
We’re a human-level business: we believe that treating staff and clients like people achieves more productive relationships – and more secure sites.
Keyholding
At Kopek Facilities Management, we take the safety of our clients seriously. Keyholding makes that commitment literal: we take on the responsibility of being your back-up, your fail-safe; you entrust your keys to us for … well, safe-keeping.
High Value Vehicle Escorts
Not all loads are created equal – some are more valuable than others. When your HGV is carrying a cargo that counts, our High-Value Vehicle Escort services are there to provide the practical defences – and the visible deterrents – that are needed to be sure valuable goods reach their destination.
Close Protection
Physical security guards provide a range of services: they are a visible deterrent and an emergency response team; they can prevent injury and loss, deal with harassment or damage.
Mobile Patrols
When it comes to security, sometimes there’s a lot of ground to cover. That’s where mobile patrols can come into their own, offering a visible presence across a distributed area.
Void Property Inspections
Vacant properties have security concerns all of their own – and many insurance companies understand this, requiring vacant property inspections as a term of their policies. We understand that this is an important responsibility – and we deliver void property inspections that do more than tick a box.
Events & Stewarding
Our approach to events and stewarding is full service: every element of our capacity can be deployed to any event: from manned guards to dog handlers, emergency response teams to mobile CCTV towers, we look at every aspect of an event to understand exactly what shape our security approach should take.
Logistics
It’s logistics that makes the world go around. Fleets of trucks – and of truck drivers – ensure that cargoes reach their destination, on time and on budget, so that consumers can access the goods they need. And logistics security ensures they get there safely.
Fire Marshalls
Keeping people and properties safe from fire is among the most important – and fundamental – responsibility our clients have. At events and sites across the country, they trust us and our fire marshals to make sure that everything is as it should be – and the potential for damaging incidents is eliminated.
Alarm Response
We’ve all seen it happen: an alarm sounds at a premises for what can seem like hours, and no one seems to care. Needless to say, this isn’t what alarms are for – they are meant to elicit a response. Don’t let your property go untended – line up an alarm response service you can trust.
Maintenance
We’ve all been there: not attending to a little job – not even noticing it needs doing – is fine for a while, but eventually leads to a big problem. A large leak or a serious stock shortage; a larger bill or more disruption. Maintenance matters because you shouldn’t have to notice it.
Groundskeeping
Outside space matters. Not only is it often practical – from parking lots to muster points – it also often improves working lives and enhances productivity. From green spaces to break-out areas, your grounds are an integral part of your estates and facilities.
Office Management
An office isn’t just a functional space. It’s an environment, too – and one in which your teams should feel comfortable and motivated. That’s where office management services can help: we handle all the details of office life so you and your staff can focus on the work ahead.
Commercial Cleaning Services
Your premises matter to your business, and they matter to your teams. A clean, tidy and appropriately maintained premises is safer, more efficient – and can even drive sales. In other words, at Kopek Security and Facilities Ltd, we understand that high-quality commercial cleaning services aren’t a nice-to-have; they’re non-negotiable.
