Vulnerable children & adults in the home
This cover provides huge relief to carers with vulnerable people living at home. Here are some of the scenarios we have been told about by our customers:
- Stopping a child or adult with additional needs flicking switches repeatedly, or poking dangerous items into sockets, putting themselves at risk
- Preventing a vulnerable person accessing dangerous equipment like kettles, cookers and hobs in-between supervision or carer's visits.
- Preventing an elderly person unplugging equipment like the wifi
- Each cover comes with two keys. If you order more than one cover at the same time, these will be keyed alike, so one key will open all the covers you buy. Extra keys can be purchased and keyed alike if ordered at the same time.
Schools and Additional needs settings
- Many additional need schools choose this product following risk assessments to prevent children from injuring themselves and others.
- It can prevent disruption in the class with equipment being turned off during lesson.
- It can also stop children repeatedly flicking socket switches or lights, perhaps due to sensory processing disorder.
- It prevents vulnerable children putting dangerous items into sockets.
Will this product work for me?This cover is designed to fit over any double electrical socket that is either wall mounted or set within the wall. It is however worth checking the external dimensions of the cover (below) to make sure you have enough wall space around your socket.
If the cover can be accommodated on your wall and you do not need to change the plug for the foreseeable future, this product offers you a way of permanently locking your plug in place.
This cover has an optional hole at the top and bottom of it. This means it will work with surface mounted sockets with conduit wires going into the top or bottom of it. If the holes are not required, they can be easily and securely filled with the toughened blanking tabs provided.
What if I want a cover where plugs may need to be changed over time?If you can foresee a time when you will need to change your plugs (eg, from a microwave to a toaster), you may be better considering using
SSP-16485. This product has a small hole in the curved section of the cover, so it can be unlocked and plugs easily changed without removing the whole unit itself.
