As one client stated:
"We believe Secured Environments makes an important contribution to business success by helping to focus organisations on an essential area of business activity. We were relatively happy with our physical security arrangements, but the accreditation process forced us to think hard about issues such as the security of clients' information and staff safety and to review our systems for ensuring that we are thinking about these matters on a continuous basis."
This conference is designed to explore some of the housing needs of drug and alcohol users and the barriers they face, and look at what more can be done to support this vulnerable population.

Transport & Security
The role of public transport and transport interchanges, and their impact on people, are now becoming significant factors in the design and management of urban environments. Transport linked crime and the fear of crime has considerable influence on the decision of people to use these facilities. At a time when Government, both at national and local level, are promoting the use of public transport any measures that can be under taken that will encourage their use should be supported. It is in this context that Perpetuity would like to invite you to a free seminar that will discuss 'cutting edge' transport security research.
Security Management presents a significant challenge in today's business environment where the threats to persons, property, and profits can range from natural causes through to serious criminal activity. This course will provide a clear understanding of the role of the modern Security Manager and the professional skills they require.
Fee: £1,495 + VAT (£1,756.63) includes 2 nights accommodation.

Gangs and Schools
Currently there is considerable concern in the public about 'youth gangs' and their impact on communities, and this includes the impact gangs may have on schools.This view is reinforced by the tragic deaths of both teachers and young people widely covered in the media.
Recognising these risks NASUWT, the UK's biggest school union, has commissioned Perpetuity to better understand the nature of the problem and comment on the appropriateness of a range of solutions.
This project has only just started but if you would like to know more or feel you or your organisation could contribute to the project please contact Dr Tim Pascoe on 0116 222 5555, 07971207308 or t.pascoe@perpetuitygroup.com
The Handbook of Security
Edited by Martin Gill
Palgrave Macmillan
The Handbook of Security is essential reading for all those engaged with the security world. This in-depth book collates the best research available for the security academic and professional. The book is divided into five parts. It begins with the study of security as a discipline, assessing the contribution made by different subject areas to the study of security. The second part looks at crime in organizations. The third part analyzes the various sub-sectors of security. A section on management issues precedes the final section looking at a range of issues that impact on security.
