Crimes, such as theft (by staff as well as customers), vandalism, arson and fraud can significantly impact your business. This online check list will help you assess the security of your business and make improvements.

It should take about 10-15 minutes to complete, and once you’ve finished it will link you to detailed information targeted at any weaknesses it detects in your security and crime prevention arrangements.

Using that information you can take the measures necessary to reduce the chance of your business being victimised. You should of course remember to check with your local police force to see if a crime prevention officer can assist you further.

Complete all the sections relevant to your own business.

Before completing the survey, we recommend that you read through the list of questions and consult if necessary with your staff to ensure that your answers also reflect their views and that you have covered all areas of the survey properly. For some smaller businesses this may not be necessary.
