Protecting places of worship

Places of worship such as churches, cathedrals, synagogues, and mosques are important community centres currently facing an increased threat of terrorism and hate crime. Since 2016, the Places of Worship scheme has provided £1.5 million to places of worship for additional security measures.

Jacksons Fencing has worked with many churches and mosques, providing fencing, gates, and access control solutions to create a safe yet welcoming environment.

Security Fencing for places of worship

At Jacksons, we manufacture and install a range of fencing and gates suited to protecting religious centres which are vulnerable to attacks. Our fencing and access control solutions combine both security with pleasing aesthetics and can fulfil a range of functions, including:

• Preventing forced entry and trespassing during closing hours

• Protecting visitors, worshippers and staff from accidents within the grounds

• Deterring theft, anti-social behaviour, hate crime, and terrorist attacks

• Demarcation, security, and access control

• Keeping pedestrians and vehicles separate from each other for safety

• Mitigating noise propagation into and from the site
