Staff 

CRB Checks -we insist all of our staff both permanent and temporary undergo background checks to ensure that they are suitable for the type of sensitive and confidential information we handle. We will not employ any person without first receiving confirmation of their history.  

Building 

CCTV - CCTV covering both the front and rear of the building entrances monitors our offices. 

Secure Access Control - The entrance doors are not accessible to the public. The door is controlled by an electronic entry release, which is operated by the centre manager. Voice exchange takes place between the caller and the manager to ascertain the reason or purpose for the visit before the door is released. All businesses within the centre have an automatic release coded card and building security is able to assess who has used the building and at what time. 

Security Solar Screens - Our office suite has the additional benefit of metal solar screens against the windows. The advantage of the screens is to protect the property and equipment contained within the suite. 

Alarm System - Our business centre has a fully serviced and maintained burglar and fire alarm system, Redcare linked to an automatic receiving centre and to the fire brigade. The sprinkler system in the event of a fire is also connected by direct link to the ADT receiving centre. Our office has PIR sensors, which are activated by the detection of body heat or movement. This also goes for the common areas of the building. 

Media 

Fire Proof Safe - All clients' media including taped and CD recordings are stored in a fire proof safe when not being used. 

Operational log - All staff complete an operational log to confirm that they have taken media from the safe to work on and then sign again to say when it was returned. It is our policy never to leave media unattended when the office is unmanned.
