A community intervention on security and safety is not complete without home security systems

As the president of the parents and teachers association of the school of my kids, I always talk with my fellow parents about the security and safety of our kids. One parent brought up the topic on DIY Security Systems since she thought that while we have ensured the security and safety of our kids in school, we should also ensure the security and safety of our kids at HOME. When we talked to the other parents, we found that a lot don’t have an existing security measure in their own homes. After discussing the risks of having an unsafe home for our kids, the PTA has decided to do some type of community intervention to promote Home Security Systems.
For community-based interventions to be successful a number of factors are important including community participation, supportive local policy decisions, action, and collaboration with nongovernmental organisation. Healthy schools and homes, we found out, can have a major impact on the health and security of children.Families and employees can result in increased enthusiasm, participation and improved productivity if they know that their immediate environment is safe.. Parents can and should play a significant role in supporting such initiatives by leading information campaigns; ensuring that security messages are clear and consistent; influencing policies related to access to security systems in school and work premises; encouraging the creation of secured and safe environments and provision of facilities.
