Discover how cross-sector collaboration can design out crime in this new eBook by Secured by Design
The drive to enhance lives and foster robust, secure communities fuels the work of planning and building control professionals, as well as the broader built environment sector.
Achieving this vision requires navigating diverse perspectives and competing priorities, yet collaborative partnerships are the key to realising positive change and ensuring homes are safe and secure.
This necessitates cross-sector cooperation, leveraging industry expertise, implementing effective security standards and adhering to supportive legislation.
Historically, crime prevention and “designing out crime” have been perceived as cumbersome and unnecessary, often viewed as hindrances to the planning and build process. This misconception overlooks the fact that integrating security into initial designs not only minimises visual intrusion but also enhances community wellbeing and sustainability.
This eBook demonstrates what is possible when design and security align, highlighting real-world examples of successful cross-sector collaboration that has taken place across the UK.
