IT suites & cyber cafes - Safer Places of Worship

If you have a computer suite

Undertake a full risk assessment to identify any risks before setting up.
Install a suitable alarm system to prevent theft, this should be NACOSS or equivalent (with police response) and Redcare signaling.
If this is a new system, then a dual signaling system may be required by the local police force.

When setting up the suite it is important to ensure that you have enough plug sockets and that you do not exceed capacity. For more information please visit the electrical information page; www.hse.gov.uk/electricity/information/testing.htm
It is important to restrict ‘inappropriate’ sites and have enough supervision in the suite to spot any misuse by operators.
Ensure that all the computers are secure – please visit the data security page for more information.
