Here are five advisory organisations offering CPD materials and advice, from among the dozens available on ribacpd.com. Advisory organisations can often play a very practical role in helping specifiers, offering information and introducing them to suitable suppliers.

This one-hour seminar aims to bring together the principles of designing out crime, effective crime prevention and security standards, for a range of applications and products. It provides an introduction to Secured by Design and its application to residential developments, including: how design can reduce the opportunity for crime; the role of the Crime Prevention Design Advisor and when to contact them; legislation and directives relating to crime prevention in the built environment, and their implications for architects; and police-preferred specification.

Secured by Design is a not-for-profit organisation that focuses on crime prevention in relation to homes and commercial premises, and that promotes the use of security standards for a wide range of applications and products. These principles have been proven to achieve a reduction in crime risk of up to 75 percent, by combining minimum standards of physical security and well-tested principles of natural surveillance and defensible space.
