The Crime Prevention Website

Every so often an important organisation that promotes security approaches this website with a request to link up. Having recently created a new page on the site for caravan owners you can imagine my delight when I received such a request from the Caravan Storage Site Owners’ Association (known as ‘CaSSOA’).

When a caravan is not being used for holidays I recommend that owners keep them at a secure caravan storage site. The question is how do you know if a storage site is secure? My recommendation is that you visit CaSSOA’s website in the first instance simply because they have over 400 CaSSOA accredited caravan storage sites across the UK, which have been independently assessed by an experienced surveyor for security features, access and amenities to make sure they provide superior levels of protection from theft.

CaSSOA represents caravan storage site owners’ across the UK and work towards minimising caravan theft by promoting the highest levels of security.

There are three levels of CaSSOA accredited storage: Bronze, Silver or Gold. Accreditation is based on a number of features including CCTV, access control, perimeter fencing and alarm systems.

Bronze rated facilities have good basic fencing and security systems to deter thieves while the highest Gold rating is only given to compounds with the most rigorous standards in their facilities and processes. Also, because CaSSOA is a recognised membership body providing security accreditations, many insurance companies offer policy discounts for vehicles stored on secure CaSSOA sites.

So it’s a warm welcome to CaSSOA who now feature on our caravan security advice page and are listed in our Partners section under Associations and Institutes
