Provision has also been made for owners tosecure their bicycles/mopeds to the fabric of a fixed structure by the use of locks and chains.Users should be encouraged to provide their own good-quality locks and chains for this purpose.

Details of lost property should be reported to amember of staff.All found property should be tagged with the finder’s name and address and its description recorded in astandard format at reception and stored securely in the same place.

Page 19 of 86Circumstances of the loss and the likelihood of the key being used improperlyNeed for the lock, or locking mechanism, to be changed based on the circumstances of the loss andthe key’s level of securityIn most cases, it will be usual for locks to be changed whenever an external door or secure store key is lost.AuditsRegular checks will be conducted to confirm the whereabouts of every key. It is almost inevitable that thispractice, and other aspects of effective key security, will be unpopular with staff, but the consequences oflax controls range from replacing stolen equipment. Like many aspects of security, key control is tediousbut crucial.TrespassThe main security threat to the Academy comes from acts of burglary, theft, vandalism and arson, all ofwhich are statutory offences which should be reported to the police.Trespass affects the vast majority of schools.

This section applies to premises,including playgrounds, playing fields and other premises for outdoor recreation.Powers of arrest: This is a matter best left to the police: a private citizen has certain lawful powers ofarrest, but they must be exercised with care as wrongful arrest can result in a claim for damages.Key holders – siteTo enable a police response when the security alarms are activated, the following conditions apply:They must be at least two key holders for call-out.They must have a telephone at their home address.They must reside not more than 20 minutes’ travelling time from the premises for which they areresponsible.They must have their own transport to ensure prompt attendance.Police transport will not be provided.Both the alarm company and the local police must be informed immediately of details of keyholders and of any changes whether of a temporary or permanent nature.Daily CCTV digital recordingA digital CCTV network playback system with a 30 day recording facility is available with two accessibleviewing VDU’s which are held in the building managers office and at reception.
