Security

Colleagues have the right to expect a secure and safe working environment. Colleagues, patients and visitors on BSW premises, working from home or working in the community on ICB business, should be confident of their personal safety and the security of property, buildings and equipment. The Local Security Management Specialist (LSMS) will work with the ICB to reduce instances of violence or aggression using numerous tools including site security reviews, training, raising colleague awareness, incident investigation, publicity campaigns and surveys.

Site Security Arrangements

The landlords of BSW premises are responsible for physical site security. As part of these security arrangements, all BSW colleagues must wear their ID card at all times. If you misplace your ID card or access card/fob, you must immediately report this to the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so the access can be deactivated. Most premises will also require that you sign in and sign out.

Visitors will also be required to sign in/out of the premises, must be collected from Reception and must be accompanied at all times while within the building. If you see anyone unaccompanied in the building that is not wearing an ID card, please challenge them if it is safe to do so.

Site security risk assessments will be carried out on a regular basis.
