Forget Me Not Children's Hospice, CCTV upgradeand Access Control Upgrade

The challenge

The brief

Forget Me Not Children's Hospice provides outstanding care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families. Creating a safe, secure and welcoming environment for children, families, staff, volunteers and visitors is central to the hospice's day-to-day operations.

Centurion Fire & Security had already worked closely with the hospice over several years, including support with access control and the ongoing improvement of its wider security infrastructure.

As the hospice's operational needs developed, the team required a more capable CCTV system with better site-wide coverage, improved vehicle monitoring and easier access to live and recorded footage.

The previous CCTV setup did not provide the level of visibility or functionality needed across the full site. Reviewing incidents could take longer than necessary, and the team needed a system that made it easier to find, save and securely share footage when required.

Any solution also had to be sensitive to the nature of the hospice environment. The aim was not to modernise for the sake of it, but to improve safeguarding, support day-to-day operations and give the facilities team better control.
