Violence on the increase to Practice Receptionists
Violence towards Receptionists has risen with the majority (78%) facing threatening behaviour, racist or sexist abuse from patients and 83% reporting having called the police for help.
A practice manager in Stockport “A man attended our practice with six knives because he didn’t get the treatment he wanted. He smashed up the waiting room and threatened staff members. It was a scene we never want repeated in GP practice. It was terrifying and unnecessary. But we also know this is extreme. Bad language and threats are an everyday occurrence, and it is unacceptable.”
Here at Screen Plus we are helping with installation of our Security Screens & Partition doors with electronic locks. These screens & doors still allow direct contact with the visitors but aid the Receptionists Security.

Glass Screens help with Security Measures
Deterrence is one of the most basic elements of a security program. The goal is to keep a security incident from being attempted. The key to deterrence is high visibility which is where the use of Screen Plus glass linked screens comes into its own as shown here in this school entrance. The Screens are allowing the light to flow through, but with the toughened glass giving full security protection.
If your school makes aspects of its security visible, certain threats will choose to go elsewhere.

Security Screens for School Reception Desks
Educational institutes such as Schools, Colleges and Universities are constant hives of activity due to the number of people visiting throughout the day.
With so many people visiting every day and a large amount of high-value property and belongings on site, it can be a challenge for the reception area to keep the premises secure. These educational facilities can be at a great risk from a whole variety of crimes ranging from petty theft to opportunistic students committing different crimes, to organised gangs attempting to gain access to the site. With Reception Desk Security screens installed, it is a very effective security measure,
Producing a safer environment for all front of house staff.
