Bouncers/door Staff - Providing Details To Complain?

[LittleSquidge]

I'm looking for regulations/legislation regarding "bouncers" in the UK. The ones I speak of work in a nightclub and are council regulated. I am aware they have to wear a badge on the upper arm.

If I request to know the company they are supplied from and a name/employee number; is it my right to know or can they refuse and make sure I cannot read their arm badge?

Please answer in regards to calm customers, who had not previously been aggressive, etc.

They don't have to tell you anything, but you can apply for a Freedom of Information revealing of the information. If they are Council regulated, then presumably your council would know?

They're not 'council regulated'; they're SIA regulated:

As that link shows, their badge must be visible at all times (so you should be able to read the name on it) but they only have to actually produce it to a police officer or SIA representative.

Nightclub has to be licensed and the info about it
raise it with them and mention that you need the info to oppose their relicensing application

that will make them concentrate - - clearly I have been there

consider a data protection application - please give me the video for XYZ
to the club - but you or the applicant has to be on it...
