National Home Security Month

With the pressures of day-to-day life, home security is often overlooked. That’s why National Home Security Month (NHSM) is here to raise awareness around the importance of home security so you can be safe in the knowledge that your home, family and belongings are protected. Taking place in October, NHSM will be offering seasonal tips and advice to help protect the nation’s homes, families and possessions.

First launched in 2013, the campaign takes place every year in October and offers advice, information and support on how to secure your property.
