Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the BDO identifies a potential risk?

If a potential risk is spotted, the BDO will discreetly alert the right people and offer guidance on the best next steps. Their goal is always to prevent incidents safely and professionally, keeping everyone protected.

Will a BDO interact directly with people?

Most of the time, no. BDOs focus on observation and analysis. Direct interaction only happens if it’s necessary to ensure safety or manage a specific situation.

How quickly can a BDO be assigned?

We can usually deploy a BDO at short notice. Once we understand your needs, we’ll confirm availability and get things moving promptly.

Can a BDO help prevent incidents before they happen?

Absolutely. BDOs are trained to spot unusual behaviour early, helping you address potential risks before they escalate. It’s a proactive way to keep people and property safe.

How do I know if I really need a BDO?

If you want to manage risks proactively, protect staff, visitors, or assets, or gain professional insight into behaviour and potential threats, a BDO can make a real difference.
