She is a Licensed Secured by Design (SBD) Consultant, Suitably Qualified Security Specialist (SQSS) compliant for BREEAM Hea 06 'Security Needs Assessments' (SNAs) and an Associate of the Royal Town Planning Institute and is:
- Adept at conducting crime risks assessments, environmental and security audits and design critiques, to reduce vulnerability and promote community safety.
- Consultations will inform feasibility and design development and enable project teams to incorporate effective, convenient security into the development.
Early consultation will promote ongoing sustainability and help the developer to minimise potential for costly suprises and incompatibility issues. It will also reduce the likelihood of retro-fix measures that can be, vulnerable to damage, misuse and increase the risk of anti-social behaviour or crime.
Independent research has shown that the early incorporation of Design out Crime measures including SBD principles and testing standards, will reduce the likelihood of crime occurring and enhance sustainability.
