Legal highs? <br /><br />This document aspires to provide a physical environment in the hubs, describing them to be..'welcoming, informal, educational and purposeful, often comprised of a café type layout in a community centre where members of the local community are already attending. When the community justice cuts are operating well' -(splutter choke)- 'they should resemble a vibrant community centre that ANYONE would WANT to attend,where colleagues, participants-(offenders) and agencies, can have refreshments together, access the internet and move forward together, offering and accessing support and guidance. There should be a buzz atmosphere.' !!!<br /><br />..and the little dog laughed and they all lived happily ever after.... <br /><br />I can see so many reasons why this will/should never happen.mlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-91385555162572398722016-08-05T11:15:23.541+01:002016-08-05T11:15:23.541+01:00So they withdraw administrative support and give e...So they withdraw administrative support and give everyone a personal alarm( the market in this technology is rocketing), which nicely covers some of their H&S responsibilities. But no one in a position to 'meet and greet' and know who is in the building. I thought this information was vital in respect of fire risks. Seemingly not. Thus the Inspectorate writes:<br /><br />' Not all the hubs were easy to manage from a health and safety perspective. Some of them gave open access through the front door, and in some hubs there was a risk staff on duty may not have known who was in the building at all times.' <br /><br />Seems to me the Inspectorate is clearly identifying a H&S hazard: having a real-time awareness of who is in the building is of paramount importance. Aside from the risks of walk-in thefts, there is a basis lack of security in not knowing who is on your premises. <br /><br />I suspect if a H&S risk was identified in relation to service users or children, it would have been reflected in the report's recommendations. But <br />the recommendations are silent on this point of potential risks to staff of running a poorly supervised hub. Netnippernoreply@blogger.com
