59. 59 How did the Marque come into being? 1989 Rooted in British Secured by Design 1990 Thesis - Checklist Social Safety and Built Environment 1992 Research on Netherlands demands 1994 Experimental Manual for new projects. Extended testing and live experiments. Evaluation. 1997 Manual for refurbishment 1998 Nation-wide introduction 1999 Final development by ACPO 2001 Start of Managing Foundation - CPI 2005 Transition to CCV (Government Foundation) 2008 Marque Secured Housing

60. 60 How to use it: There is only one Marque, but there are more situations where you can use it 1.Marque for new estates 2.Marque for refurbishment (BB) 3.Marque for individual dwellings (tenants) 4.Marque for individual dwellings (owners) Ad 1.Contract Ad 2.Agreement Ad 3.Move and big scale maintenance Ad 4.Benefits and subsidise Choice: expertise own staff or external Imperative: basic knowledge of the Marque

62. 62 Thank you for your attention

63. 63 Process Secured by Design Departments within the local authority develop according the basic requirements and recommendations of Secured by design. Before continuing to the next phase the Centre of Crime prevention and Safety and Security (CCV) offers the possibility (at minimal expense) to have plans checked by experts for extra assurance before the building process starts. Inspections by the inspection institution (II) this ensure all requirements have been met.
