Sectors we operate in » Public Sector & Social Housing Security

Public Sector & Social Housing Security

Clearway provides security services for public sector and social housing premises, including CCTV monitoring, access control, keyholding, and manned guarding. Public sector and social housing security services are measures implemented to protect public sector buildings and social housing properties from risks such as theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access, ensuring the safety of staff, visitors, and assets.

Public sector premises present unique security challenges, and the safeguarding and protection of staff, visitors, service users and assets is vital. Security needs for local authorities and other social housing providers can also be complex and varied, with the need to protect and safeguard units and empty accommodations from multiple potential risks.

security for social housing and public sector

security for social housing and public sector

From hospital sites and educational establishments, where prevention of criminal activity is crucial to operations, to public sector workspaces managing sensitive user data, many premises have large sites, complex user needs and high visitor turnaround.

Approximately 55% of the country’s social housing stock is owned by local authorities, however we recognise that these properties are often managed on a day-to-day basis by management organisations.

With many more social homes needed to end the housing emergency, it’s imperative that when a social housing property does become vacant, action is taken quickly to pre-empt and prevent security risks, preserve the safety of neighbouring tenants and reduce potential time and cost risks associated with evicting squatters and repairing damage or replacing items.

Social housing providers can reduce repair and maintenance costs, improve tenant satisfaction, minimise the disruption and expense of dealing with break-ins and deter unwanted behaviour with flexible security and safety risk mitigation solutions.

We are experts in providing robust, efficient and diligent security services to all public sector buildings and social housing properties.

Clearway Outdoor CCTV camera

CCTV Monitoring and Maintenance

CCTV is a popular choice for school sites, public sector offices and healthcare facilities. It protects vulnerable perimeters from intruders, and provides a deterrent in remote locations.

Clearway install, monitor and maintain CCTV tailored to your needs – such as wireless detection services away from main buildings, or fixed CCTV towers to provide oversight of car parks. Read more about our CCTV monitoring here.

Access Control Systems

Access Control

Controlling access to public sector sites can be challenging where multiple users and visitors attend each day.

Options include:

Concrete barriers to prevent vehicle access.
Manned guarding to provide high-level visitor screening.
Perimeter fencing, alarm systems and patrols.
Wireless intruder alarms at points of entry.
Key card and electronic verification services.

Professional security services can control the flow of traffic, authorise permitted visitors, and act as a visible preventative measure to signal that your site is protected. Read more about our business access control systems here.

Keyholding Services

Keyholding Services

Where sensitive data or valuable assets provide an attractive proposition for criminals, having a robust alarm response protocol in place is vital to premises security.

This ensures that any alarm activations, whether due to unlawful entry, fire, flooding or false call-outs are dealt with quickly, without any risk to your workforce. Read more about our keyholding services here.

Manned Guarding

Manned Guarding

Mobile patrols to protect your site perimeters.
Static guards to vet and approve each visitor.
Canine patrols to manage larger sites.
