Amthal has introduced a new initiative called "Protecting What’s Precious," focusing on the careful integration of CCTV in nurseries. This campaign aims to aid nursery providers in considering CCTV installations as part of their overall safeguarding strategy, taking into account the unique requirements and priorities of each setting.
The campaign seeks to assist nurseries in evaluating how CCTV might enhance their existing safeguarding measures. Amthal offers personalized guidance, support, and system design to ensure CCTV implementations are handled thoughtfully. Each nursery setting is acknowledged for having distinct operational needs and goals.

Jamie Allam, CEO of Amthal Group Companies, stated, “Creating safe environments where children can learn, develop and thrive remains at the heart of nursery provision. Parents place enormous trust in early years professionals every day, and nursery teams work tirelessly to create spaces where children feel secure, supported and able to flourish.”

Jamie further emphasized the importance of approaching CCTV discussions in nursery environments with care and sensitivity, highlighting that the goal is to help providers determine what is appropriate for their specific settings. When implemented thoughtfully as part of a broader safeguarding strategy, CCTV can enhance visibility, aiding in incident reviews and day-to-day oversight.

The initiative underscores the critical role of privacy, transparency, and compliance in CCTV use. Considerations such as camera placement, data protection, and secure footage management are essential to ensuring responsible CCTV adoption in nurseries. Partnering with trusted technology firms like Dahua, Amthal ensures that CCTV solutions are tailored to fit the safeguarding and operational needs of each nursery setting.
In conclusion, Jamie remarked, “At the center of every conversation must be the wellbeing of children and the trust families place in nursery providers every day. Our role is to support settings with thoughtful guidance that complements the excellent safeguarding work already taking place, helping providers make informed decisions that are right for their environment, staff, and families.”
