Secure
units for vulnerable children and their families are one of the most complex
developments to provide security for, but thanks to its tailored solutions and
vast experience, ASSA ABLOY High Security and Safety Group has helped to
improve resident safety at numerous facilities.
The amount
of time young adults are spending in Secure Units is increasing by up to 20%,
putting added pressure on these types of facilities. This is also putting
strain on the need for security solutions that will not only keep vulnerable
children safe but provide the right level of security.
ASSA ABLOY
High Security and Safety Group has been meeting the needs of these facilities,
improving the security at Clare Lodge in Peterborough, Swanwick Lodge in
Southampton and Vinney Green in Bristol.
Michael
Dunn, Commercial Director for ASSA ABLOY High Security and Safety Group, said:
“Secure Units present a unique challenge – the management of resident and staff
safety, combined with ensuring the environment is completely secure but also
welcoming for residents.
"Security
solutions should be non-intrusive but robust enough to provide complete safety
for all. Although we have worked on numerous Secure Units, there are no
one-size-fits-all solutions.
"We
always take the time to review each project and make sure we adapt our
solutions and products for the needs of the individual facility and its
residents.”
