Secured by Design, the UK official Police flagship initiative, is working to reduce burglary and crime in the UK by designing out crime through physical security and processes.
They focus on crime prevention of homes and commercial premises and promote the use of security standards for a wide range of applications and products, achieving a reduction of crime by up to 75%.
Hambleside Danelaw have been a member since 2012 and have just signed up for another year to March 2016.

The accreditation covers Dryseal and Hambleside Danelaw GRP Valley Troughs for plain and interlocking tiled roofs, Hambleside Danelaw GRP Valley Troughs for slated roofs, Hambleside Danelaw GRP Bonding Gutters for plain and interlocking tiled roofs and Hambleside Danelaw GRP Conti-Soakers for plain and interlocking tiled roofs, all as alternatives or replacements of lead or copper.
