  1. ACS directors and SIA licensing PDF removed because the guidance has been published elsewhere

  2. Deleted documents 'ACS: Right to work guidance' and 'ACS: Outsourced employment screening' because the right to work guidance is duplicated in 'Get Licensed' and the screening guidance has been rewritten and added to our document collection on guidance for approved contractors. Also removed references to these documents in the summary and body text.

  3. Removed the documents 'ACS: Guidance on employment status' and 'ACS: Preventing tax avoidance'. We have replaced these with the 'Learn how HMRC rules apply to the security operatives you deploy' guidance page.

  4. Added a new guidance document: 'ACS: Using overseas suppliers'

  5. First published.
