info@crimepreventionacademy.com This CPD will explore the Police Secured by Design initiative, which operates across a wide range of building sectors including residential,
education, health,
commercial, retail, sport and leisure, as well as promotes security standards for a wide range of applications and products. These principles have been proven to reduce crime risk by up to 87%, by combining standards of physical security and principles of crime prevention through environmental design. Topics covered include how the scheme is implemented and successes in previous

Secured by Design as a proven police scheme which reduces crime and creates safer communities
• Relevant legislation, policy & guidance
• How an open, welcoming and safe environment can be achieved by incorporating crime prevention design into the layout and landscaping of the immediate surroundings in subtle ways that will be barely noticeable to residents
• •

Sto creates fi re compliant facades across multiple residential buildings
An external wall insulation system manufactured by Sto has optimised fi re protection for a multi-block residential development. The project’s fi rst phase comprised two buildings which had the StoTherm Mineral K EWI system specifi ed to meet the required fi re rating while maximising thermal performance. BBA-certifi ed, StoTherm Mineral K features A1 mineral fi bre insulation boards and the system is classifi ed with an A2-s1, d0 reaction to fi re in accordance with BS EN 13501. Specialist surface fi nishers, One & Maike was responsible for installing StoTherm Mineral K on behalf of principal contractor Osprey, a facade remediation specialist. The insulation boards were fi xed directly to the existing concrete substrate avoiding the need for a cavity. StoLevell Duo Plus, a strong mineral adhesive, was applied to the back of the insulation boards, and additional fi xings were also used to secure the insulation boards to the substrate to suit wind load conditions. Sto-Glass Fibre Mesh was then embedded into the outer surface of the reinforcing coat providing crack resistance to the system. The system was fi nished with StoSilco K1.5, a silicone resin render ensuring high levels of water repellence and protection from harsh weather conditions.

Spreading the word on compliant compartmentation
Changes to the fi re regulations across the UK and the challenge of showing compliance with them, is motivating a growing number of construction professionals to book a place on FIREFLY®
’s highly informative CPD seminar.
Entitled ‘The Design and Understanding of Passive Fire Protection and Compartmentation’, the 60 minute presentation provides an introduction to the behaviour of fi re and the distinctions between active and passive protection measures, before moving on to explain the various ways in which fully compliant compartmentation can be achieved to prevent the spread of fi re within a building. Daniel Gordon, the specifi cation sales manager for Scotland and Ireland, comments: “Architects and fi re assessors are joining to us to learn more about compartmentation and fl exible fi re barriers in particular and generally wanting us to update their conceptual knowledge of the subject as standards, compliance requirements and indeed solutions available all continue to evolve. As a result, myself and my colleagues in the technical sales team are delivering the training module – both online and direct to architects in their offi ces – on a weekly basis.”
