However, fencing can also be used to protect the most vulnerable people in society. Hostels, refuges and residential homes for vulnerable individuals can all benefit from security fencing. In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll look at how perimeter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence\/\" title=\"What does your fence say about your business?\">fencing<\/a> can help institutions like these and how it should be deployed. If you run a refuge, hostel or residence, you might be surprised by how useful this simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/supplier-of-security-fencing\/\" title=\"Why you should source all your security measures from a single supplier\">security measure<\/a> can be.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Physical protection<\/h2>\n<p>Many people end up in refugees or hostels because of abuse. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/pool-fences\/\" title=\"Swimming pool fencing keeps everyone safe\">Fencing can be used to keep<\/a> former abusers away from these buildings, especially at night when residents aren\u2019t likely to be coming and going themselves. Meanwhile, some residences can attract disapprobation from hostile elements within the surrounding community. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/secure-mental-health-units\/\" title=\"Keeping mental health units secure for patients, staff and visitors\">mental health<\/a> residences may be targeted because some of the residents may have behavioural difficulties. When properly installed, <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-fence-toppings\/\" title=\"3 security fence toppings for your perfect fencing solution\">security fencing<\/a> can stop even highly-motivated would-be intruders, as it is difficult to break through or climb over.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Protect Vulnerable Individuals with Psychological benefits<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/secure-fencing-for-development\/\" title=\"Why your development needs secure fencing\">Security fencing<\/a> doesn\u2019t just protect vulnerable people from physical threats: if it is deployed properly, it can provide a sense of psychological security, too. It can make residence, hostel and refuge residents feel safer and help cultivate the belief that they are in a stable, emotionally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fencing-protects-local-environment\/\" title=\"How fencing protects the local environment\">protective environment<\/a>. This is often very important for people who have been victimised or alienated in some way.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Giving residents access<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/install-security-fencing\/\" title=\"Be the perfect host: install security fencing\">Securing a hostel, refuge, or residence isn\u2019t like securing company premises or government installation<\/a>. The people who live there may have been stuck in repressive, controlling situations or struggle with independence. As a result, they must come and go freely, even while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/local-council-fights-keep-ugly-fence\/\" title=\"Local council fights to keep ugly fence\">fencing keeps<\/a> others out. The best way to achieve this is to install an electronic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-gate\/\" title=\"Choosing the right security gate for your site\">security gate<\/a> in the fencing perimeter that residents can use themselves and prevent unauthorised individuals from entering.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Allowing residents a sense of freedom<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/poor-access-control\/\" title=\"Worn keypad gives migrants access to Britain from Calais\">giving residents easy access<\/a> to refuges, hostels and residences, it\u2019s also important to make sure that they don\u2019t feel trapped or claustrophobic. Therefore, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/heathrow-perimeter-fencing\/\" title=\"Perimeter fencing is only one part of overall security at Heathrow\">fencing perimeter<\/a> should be several metres away from the premises.<\/p>\n<p>Here at <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/\">Zaun<\/a>, we understand that security fencing is the right fit for every institution that protects vulnerable individuals. However, many hostels, refuges and residences could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/will-security-fencing-benefit-business\/\" title=\"How will security fencing benefit your business?\">benefit from the protection offered by fencing<\/a>.
