Aspect - Autistic School Terrigal (NSW)

Brett Gallen and the team at iKey Security have just completed a Security Upgrade for the Aspect Central Coast, Autistic School.

Brett was contacted by the School to help them improve their current security systems and improve safety and some forms of communications. Brett worked closely with the Principal who suggested they were looking at investing in a "security card" system with reporting, and some type of intercom for the 2 entry gates.

During the initial consultation and site visit, Brett was asked if there was something they could suggest to also help improve the communication between the office and the children's playgrounds, as in the past, if there was an incident in the playground the teachers would have to run all the way back to the office to alert others. Brett suggested adding additional "call points" in the 3 separate playgrounds to enable teaches to press a button and have direct communication with the office staff; this was seen as a must have by all of the staff and the principal and was added to the total security spec.

Aspect Terrigal is a non for profit organisation, so Brett also worked closely with the suppliers to apply further discounts or donate what they could to help keep the overall costs down.

"it was great to see everyone do what they could to help keep the costs down, a big thank you to all the suppliers for their donations and massive discounts, a job well done" Brett Gallen
