211 TRAKA IS ‘INVALUABLE TOOL’
Nottingham University Hospital has become the latest NHS Trust to adopt a Traka Key Management System to control access to the Trust’s buses, minibus- es and vans. With a mix of NHS drivers and agency staff, it’s important to know who currently has a key, who used it last and what time keys were taken and returned. The hospital chose Traka’s L Series cabinet, which can house up to 180 keys (or key sets). Each key or set of keys is attached to a Traka iFob, which contains a chip with a unique electronic ID. Drivers are restricted as to which keys they can take and how many at a time. Before Traka was installed, keys could be missing and there was no way of locating them. The hospital’s Fleet Manager, Tony Oldham, says, “Honestly, I can’t fault Traka-it’s an invalu- able tool. The amount of useful information you can get from it, as well as managing the keys, is never-ending. ” t 01234 712345

210 PLAYFUL PERSPECTIVE WITH A CLIMBING FOREST
Perspective is a wonderful thing – and that’s just what children get in spades from the top of one of Timberplay’s Climbing Forests. Bespoke Climbing Forests provide challenging play experi- ences and are becoming increasingly popular as play providers recognise the inherent play value within the product. No two Climbing Forests are the same. Developed to meet the requirements of the individual project, the Climbing Forest con-
sists of Oak trunks planted vertically, linked together with rope elements, for example rope bridges, rings or spiders webs. The forests are best housed amongst well established trees, which can actually be integrated to enhance the play value of the equipment.
