Funeral Security - yes it has come to this 😞

Family dynamics can change significantly following the passing of a loved one. Every family’s circumstances are different, and no two situations are ever the same.

Lisa reached out to me a few weeks ago, and her testimonial below reinforces the importance of having a
Dedicated funeral security team that is emotionally aware, discreet, and professional with an obvious presence of females - A team that understands the sensitivity of the occasion, recognises the complexities of family relationships and knows how to respond calmly and professionally if a situation arises.

Funeral security is often required when there are underlying family disputes, financial disagreements or current intervention and safety orders. These circumstances call for a considered, compassionate and risk-aware approach that protects everyone while allowing families to focus on saying goodbye to their loved one.

At U-Nome Security, we understand that security at a funeral is about more than just having someone present. It’s about understanding the people, the circumstances and the risks - while maintaining dignity and respect throughout.

If you or your family need support, please reach out for a confidential conversation to discuss your circumstances and how we can help.

Lisa’s testimonial-

Review:
I cannot recommend Naomi highly enough. We engaged her to provide security at a family funeral due to the very sensitive family dynamic risk.

This was an incredibly difficult and emotional time for our family, and we needed someone who could handle the situation with complete professionalism, discretion and sensitivity. Naomi and her team were absolutely fantastic.

She was thorough, calm, discreet and professional from start to finish. She took the time to understand the circumstances and the seriousness of the situation, while ensuring that her presence never disrupted what was such an important and emotional day for our family.

Knowing that Naomi was there gave us a sense of reassurance and allowed us to focus on saying goodbye without having to worry about what might happen.

We are so grateful for the care, professionalism and understanding she showed.

Funeral Security and Support - Compassion First

Our dedicated funeral support service is sadly gaining momentum

As arguments occur over finances, Intervention Orders and Restraining Orders increase, so too does the need for discreet, professional support at funerals -particularly when family conflict or safety concerns exist.

Last week, we were contacted at very short notice by a grieving family who had lost a loved one. We were able to provide a low-key, discreet support with a professional male and female team

It starts with a phone call to me, Naomi.

We then arrange a face-to-face meeting where we talk through the risks and, importantly, how the family wants us to look and where we will be positioned.

You get to choose.

🥀 Covert or uniformed
🥀 Male and female professionals
🥀 Low-key presence or more visible security
🥀 A tailored approach based on the circumstances

There is no one-size- fits all approach

Our security team are professional colleagues that come from backgrounds in the armed forces, policing, emergency services and professional experience within the industry. That experience brings a calm, measured approach to situations that can be incredibly emotional.

Where appropriate, we also prepare a briefing sheet for Victoria Police so everyone understands the relevant safety considerations.

Funeral security is about much more than security.

It is about compassion , dignity, discretion and allowing families to grieve- this takes exceptional emotional awareness. Knowing you are in safe hands whilst quietly watching over the situation.

We have attended funerals where we have had to intervene in conflicts at cemeteries, prevent unwanted people from accessing chapels and manage difficult family dynamics.

We’ve seen a lot-but every funeral teaches us something new.

Last week’s outcome was exactly what we aim for: discreet, professional support that allowed everyone to relax and focus on saying their final farewell.

If your family has concerns about safety at an upcoming funeral, please feel free to contact me.

I am Naomi. I care. I listen, and I will work with you to find the right approach for your family.

The benefits of professional security

Over the past eight weeks I’ve been sharing tips on keeping celebrations safe. Private parties are our specialty, and today I wanted to explain why our approach is very different from generic security providers.

Our work starts well before the first guest arrives.

Every event begins with a comprehensive pre-party assessment of your home or venue. We identify potential risks, discuss your plans, and develop strategies to help prevent problems before they occur.

Where appropriate, we encourage parties to be registered with Victoria Police, and we maintain communication throughout the event if circumstances change:
Guest numbers can grow unexpectedly, alcohol consumption can increase, weather can deteriorate, or additional support may suddenly be needed.

Every security team member receives a detailed event briefing, prior to the event outlining the risks, emergency procedures and their individual responsibilities.

Why our team is different…

⁃ Experienced male and female teams.

⁃ Many of our staff are former law enforcement professionals or have extensive community liaison experience.

⁃ All team members hold Working With Children Checks, First Aid qualifications and RSA certification.

⁃ Every staff member has been trained and mentored within U-Nome Security for many years—you won’t find inexperienced guards turning up to your event.

⁃ Our staff don’t stand around in high-visibility uniforms looking intimidating. That’s simply not our style. Instead, they are friendly, approachable and welcoming to your guests while remaining quietly observant and highly proactive.

⁃ They arrive early, inspect the venue, liaise with the host and position themselves where they can effectively monitor arrivals and the surrounding area. Trouble is much easier to prevent when you’re actively watching, not sitting inside.

One of the biggest advantages of experience is recognising the early warning signs. A small group gathering down the street can quickly become a much larger crowd if left unchecked. Our staff are trained to identify these indicators early, communicate with the host and, if necessary, contact emergency services before a situation escalates.

In many cases, a simple police drive-by is enough to deter unwanted visitors and prevent gatecrashers altogether.

Our role doesn’t finish when the music stops.

We remain on site as guests leave because this is often when issues can arise. We assist with safe departures, transport arrangements where needed, and help ensure everyone gets home safely.

Throughout the evening, we work alongside the host, providing support so you can enjoy your own celebration instead of worrying about what might happen next.

Our goal has always been simple:
A low-key, safe, fun celebration where everyone enjoys themselves- and goes home safely.

If you’re planning a birthday, engagement, wedding, family gathering or other private event, we’d be happy to discuss how we can help make it a safe and enjoyable occasion.

The Importance of Female Security within any type of asset protection.

As an Australian-owned, female-owned and operated security company- a rarity in our industry- I continue to be surprised that many security providers still deploy all-male teams to events.

In today’s environment, there is simply no reason why every security assignment should not include at least one female security officer.

I have 30 years risk experience, policing, security, investigations and community safety
I work at the Coal Face and see firsthand the difference female staff make

Female security professionals often:

-De-escalate conflict calmly and effectively.
-Are less likely to be perceived as intimidating or threatening.
-Build trust quickly with guests who may be anxious, distressed or vulnerable.
-Notice subtle changes in behaviour and emotional wellbeing that can prevent incidents from escalating.
-Provide reassurance to women, children, older people and families who may feel more comfortable approaching another female.

With the increasing number of people affected by family violence, sexual assault and trauma, security is no longer just about managing conflict-it is also about recognising vulnerability and responding appropriately.

It is not uncommon for someone attending a wedding, funeral, private function or community event to disclose experiences of family violence or sexual assault after they begin talking with one of our female officers. Many tell us they simply felt safer approaching a woman.

Every member of the U-nome security team-both female and male- is trained to respond professionally and compassionately. Where appropriate, we can provide immediate information about support services, including referrals to Orange Door, or staff contact me directly so I can follow up and connect the person with appropriate assistance.

This is not about suggesting women are better security officers than men. The strongest security teams are diverse teams. Male and female officers each bring different strengths, perspectives and communication styles that complement one another.

Within my security firm mixed security teams are not an optional extra-they are best practice.

Security today is about much more than having a physical presence. It is about protecting people, recognising risk early, communicating effectively and ensuring every guest feels safe enough to seek help if they need it. It is about providing a holistic approach!

Clients should ensure a balanced security team.
It will make a huge difference

The most difficult job in security can be controlling entry !

After more than
20 years in the security industry and before that serving as a police member responding to assaults at venues, retail outlets and parties, I can confidently say this:

Entry control is where safety begins

People often think security is about dealing with problems once they’ve happened. The reality is our job is to stop those problems from happening in the first place.

At the entry, we’re assessing far more than just who’s on the guest list. We’re looking at:
# Sobriety – because the last thing anyone wants is a guest becoming intoxicated or requiring medical attention. Once they’re inside, that responsibility sits with the host ( duty of care )
and proof of age – ensuring guests are who they say they are.
troublemakers from entering before they become everyone’s problem.

That’s why every pre party assessment I conduct includes a ‘walk through’ your property with you and developing a practical entry plan.

We’ll discuss:
*The safest entry point – front door, garage or side gate.
*Managing guest arrivals and departures safely.
*Why we don’t recommend excessive decorations at the front of your property.
*Lighting, visibility and supervision.
*Risks such as steep driveways, poor weather or trip hazards.
*A guest management and risk plan tailored to your event.

I’ve previously spoken about the importance of a well-managed guest list. Effective entry control is the next piece of the puzzle in creating a safe, enjoyable event for everyone.

Where appropriate, we also ensure police are aware of larger events, and if any issues arise, we’ll liaise with them promptly.

Because the best parties aren’t left to chance…
They have a plan!!

A guarantee from me… No bouncer policy !! Experienced friendly professional staff that have exceptional communication.

We pride ourselves on our clients and guests - not our mobile phones.
Our team will remain alert, approachable and actively engaged throughout the event.

🎉 THE GUEST LIST – Accuracy = safety and success for your teenage party!

For more than 20 years I have been supporting parents and hosts to plan safe, successful parties from start to finish.

Before that, I spent years responding in the police divvy van to out-of-control teenage parties. There were plenty of nights attending gatecrashes, breaking up fights and, occasionally, even being pelted with stubbies.

That experience gave me an important insight:

Parents don’t need judgement. They need support.

For 20 years we have been supporting parents navigate the path of planning young people’s celebrations!!

As a mum myself, I understand how challenging it is raising teenagers, particularly in today’s world of social media, Snapchat invitations and parties spreading online within minutes.

So here are some of my most important tips when developing the guest list for a teenage party:

# Keep the guest list to people your child genuinely knows. If they don’t know their last name, they probably aren’t close friends.

your venue assessed to ensure it is adequate for the numbers. ( I provide a complimentary pre party assessment) I will visit your home or venue weeks beforehand to provide practical advice and help identify any risks with guest numbers / venue practicality. It also gives your teenager the opportunity to meet me beforehand.

your RSVP list at least 14 days before the event.

photo ID available or ensure guests can be verified at the door. Otherwise, the wrong “Jack Smith” may turn up.

youth events, always engage two professional security staff — ideally one male and one female. ( Our team members have backgrounds in law enforcement, emergency management and security and are trained to identify issues early and engage police via 000 before problems escalate.) These numbers are based on a guest list of 100 patrons.

your guest list printed in alphabetical order in a clear, easy-to-read font.

pass-outs. Once guests leave, they don’t return.

chairs available for anyone who becomes unwell or is “under the weather.” Every host has a duty of care to provide a safe environment.

someone leaves distressed ( and they do not want to stay within the party until safe transport arrives) call 000 immediately if you believe they are unsafe.

the music off and close the bar area approximately 30 minutes before the end of the party. This helps guests leave safely and calmly.

a parent or security staff member is positioned at the front as guests leave to confirm everyone has a safe way home.

One thing I always relay to parents:

We are not there to create a negative vibe at your child’s party.

Unfortunately, many people picture security staff arriving dressed like nightclub bouncers. That isn’t how we work. Professional, experienced security blends into the event, builds rapport with young people and keeps everyone safe without becoming the centre of attention.

The reality is that cutting corners for security to save money can often result in inexperienced bouncers , unnecessary confrontation and a party ending badly.

Teenage parties don’t have to be stressful.

With the right planning, good communication and experienced support, your child can enjoy an amazing celebration while parents can relax knowing everyone is safe.

Parent Supervision – The Importance of Reliable Helpers

Since 2006, we have been providing specialised support for youth parties, helping parents from the initial planning stages right through to the completion of the event.

One of the most important factors in a successful party is having reliable, sober parent helpers. We work on a ratio of one parent helper for every 25 young people invited

As part of our complimentary pre-party assessment, we visit your home prior to the event to walk through the plan with parents and, often, the young person celebrating the occasion. This allows everyone to understand their roles and responsibilities before the big day.

Parent helpers play an important role during the event, and specific tasks and expectations are discussed during the assessment.

We strongly recommend confirming your parent support team at least 7 days prior to the event. If helpers become unavailable at the last minute, it can significantly impact the safety and success of the party.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your upcoming event, please feel free to give me a call. We’re here to help make your celebration safe, enjoyable and memorable for everyone.

🥳TOP 10 SAFETY TIPS FOR HOSTING A TEEN PARTY 🥳

Planning a party for your child? A little preparation can make all the difference. Here are my top safety tips for parents:

1. Keep guest numbers manageable -ideally under 100 and limited to people you know.

2. Decide on a suitable venue early – whether it’s at home or a hired hall.

3. Have parent helpers available – a good guide is 1 responsible adult for every 25 guests.

4. Manage alcohol responsibly – whether alcohol is supplied or BYO, ensure it is supervised by RSA-qualified family members or professional staff.

5. Notify local police at least one week prior to the event.

6. Let your neighbours know at least one week beforehand to avoid surprises and complaints.

7. Request RSVPs at least two weeks before the party.

8. Pay attention to delays in receiving the guest list from your child. This can sometimes indicate numbers are growing well beyond what was originally discussed.

9. Consider professional security. If that’s not within budget, arrange a pre-party safety assessment. I’m happy to discuss options and provide advice.

10. Provide plenty of substantial food and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the event.

Remember: The best parties are the ones where everyone has a great time and gets home safely.

If you’d like advice on party planning, safety assessments, or event security, feel free to reach out.

* Pre party assessments*

Protecting the hosts and guests with a robust plan.

One of the reasons why I attend your home or venue for the pre party assessment is to ensure you as the host provide duty of care which equals a safe environment for everyone attending your home -
I will physically walk around your home - provide immediate feedback on the risks I see, but also the issues in regards to gatecrashers, alcohol, neighbours , numbers of guests and how many helpers would be needed - like I always say we will hold your hand all the way

* Preventing gatecrashers

We provide pre party risk assessment so what does this mean ? To ensure minimal visits from gatectrashers I attend your home, gather information on likely hood of unwanted guests, do research in regards to the venue / area and establish how often unwanted guests attend events and cause problems
Once I have this information I will the assign staff based on risk
Police always receive a briefing from me in regards to the event and likelihood of trouble
