01The problem
A children's ward is the last place a stranger should be able to walk into. Parents worry about who is near their child, and staff cannot watch every door and every visitor. A controlled ward door, staff cards, a guardian pass and an intercom for everyone else, means only people who should be there come in, and staff can see who is at the door before they open it.
02How it works
03What to check before you buy
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Guardian passes | Issued at admission, cancelled at discharge |
| Intercom at the door | Staff can speak to visitors first |
| Fire exits | Release safely; plan with your adviser |
| Night routine | Who admits visitors after hours |
| Maintenance | A plan, spares and a response time agreed before you buy |
| Your own requirements | Confirm them with your regulator and advisers |
