The new academic year has officially
started and it seems like your head is filled with last minute to-dos and
preparations each morning. Have they got the correct packed lunch, do they need
their PE Kit today?
Starting a new school year can be daunting
for Mums, Dads and students alike, and with so much going on it’s
understandable that parents often forget to spare a thought for security and if
their child’s belongings are kept safe throughout the day. As a result,
security specialist Yale has put together its handy hacks to help relieve that
September stress.
As it becomes increasingly commonplace to leave expensive
possessions in school bags, which are left unsupervised and vulnerable to theft,
more and more schools are now actively encouraging students to consider
security measures more seriously.
Does your child take a smartphone with them to school? Research has
revealed that mobile phones are the most frequently stolen item in the UK. With
90% of children aged between eight and 14 now owning a mobile phone, it’s worth
considering how to secure these.*
Why not consider a padlock for your child’s school bag or
rucksack? These don’t have to be bulky or obtrusive. Novelty padlocks are ideal
for children heading back to school, as they’re affordable, stylish and
practical. Available in a variety of styles and colours, each Yale padlock
comes with either a three or four dial combination lock that is easily re-settable.
The Active and Street Style padlocks offer a simplistic yet
stylish design and are available in a number of colours. For fashion fanatics
the handbag-shaped Fashion Dreams and Party Girl padlocks are perfect
accessories, whereas the Football Padlock is ideal for footy fans.
Additionally, is your child always forgetting or losing their
house key? Consider investing in a smart lock. Yale’s Keyless and Keyfree smart
locks mean there is no need to worry if your child arrives home early or if
they’ve lost their keys as you can let them in remotely via your smartphone.
With a smart lock you can choose how you want to open the door whether it be
using a PIN code, key card, key tag, remote fob or smartphone.
