Good Afternoon Colleagues. Canterbury has one of these currently installed - installed approx 3 years ago. However, I have convinced the College to move away from this customer-unfriendly approach, changing to having taller/wider counters so they act as a barrier to 'aggressive' customers' - i.e. they cannot easily reach over and grab [etc] staff, while maintaining an open 'friendly' appearance to all customers. We have a mix of 'standing' and 'seated' facilities; standing at the 'front of house' reception points, and seated customer service points at our secondary areas; e.g. student advice services, where customers are more likely to spend more time with our staff. Kind Regards George Jeffrey Director, College Support Services, Canterbury College ________________________________ From: FE Estates and Facilities Managers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tony Chapman Sent: 05 July 2007 11:13 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: reception security[Scanned] I wonder if you could help me please.
