London, UK, 12th
April 2017: CP Plus Limited, one of the UKs leading car park, security and
facility management operators has become the first car parking management
company in England and Wales to have successfully completed the Surveillance
Camera Code (SCC) Self-Assessment. This qualification is part of a continued
drive by CP Plus to raise the quality of service across the industry.
The SCC sets out
12 guiding principles identified by the Home Office and Surveillance Camera
Commissioner, which strikes a balance between protecting the public and
upholding civil liberties. The principles provide a coherent and comprehensive
structure that aims to reassure the public that surveillance cameras are used
to protect and support communities rather than spy on them.
“The SCC Code is
a very important initiative and as such we are very pleased to have accomplished
the self-assessment”, said Ian Langdon, Operations Director at CP Plus. “As a
company that manages and operates hundreds of parking and security cameras
across the country, we are very aware of the need to be responsible,
transparent and accountable for the way we use these cameras. Signing up to the SCC code of practice
reassures both our clients and motorists that we take these issues very
seriously. And as part of our continual
improvement and focus on transparency, we will be publishing our policy on our
website”.
As the first
parking management company in England and wales to have completed the SCC
Self-assessment, CP Plus is affirming its ability and commitment to raise the
levels of transparency and customer service in the industry, as well as driving
continuous improvements to its services and internal processes.
Furthermore, in
December 2016, CP Plus achieved the ISO 9001:2015 Quality & ISO 14001: 2015
Environmental Management Systems Standard Certification. At the time, CP Plus
was the only car park management company to meet the ISO’s meticulous criteria
for these standards, affirming its ability and commitment to consistently
deliver an effective quality & environmental management system. For more
