We may need to use electronic devices (monitors) and magnetic door alarms in some circumstances to ensure the safety of young people during the night when staffing support reduces. Should the use of electrical devices be agreed, the use of these items will be written into the young person’s support and supervision assessment for staff to follow. Suitable approval of parents and social workers will be gained prior to the implementation of such devices. In exceptional circumstances we use key pad entry system to a home’s entrance / exit. The decision to use this door locking mechanism is assessed on individual need. The use of electronic monitoring devices will be regularly reviewed to ensure they continue to be necessary to meet the young persons needs.
Young people’s bedroom windows have restrictors fitted where agreed. This is due to the location of the home. The restrictors allow plenty of fresh air into the bedrooms, but protect children when they are asleep. During the night the main entrances to the home are locked for security reasons, the doors can be unlocked from within using the door thumb lock.
