Visitor Information

Visitor Guidance

At St Mary’s Kenmure, the safety and wellbeing of our children, staff, and visitors is our top priority. To ensure a secure and welcoming environment, we have implemented the following procedures for all visiting professionals and guests:
  • All visits must be agreed in advance with the relevant staff member or department.
  • Unplanned or unannounced visits will not be permitted unless the visitor has a legal right of entry (e.g. statutory services).
  • This helps us maintain a safe, structured, and respectful environment for everyone on site.
  • All visitors must present photographic ID (e.g. passport, driver’s license, or government-issued ID) upon arrival.
  • We can securely store a copy of your ID to streamline future visits.
  • All visitors will undergo a brief wand search using a handheld metal detector.
  • This is a non-intrusive process to help maintain a safe environment.
To protect everyone on site, the following items must not be brought onto campus:
  • Glass or metal objects (e.g. bottles, mirrors, tools)
  • Items containing compressed gases or solvents (e.g. aerosols, glue)
  • Fireworks, lighters, matches
  • Toiletries and confectionery (these are provided by the centre)
  • Alcohol, tobacco, vaping products
  • Non-prescribed or illicit drugs
  • Electronic devices (unless approved in advance)
  • Inappropriate media (e.g. violent or age-inappropriate content)

Mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and USB drives are not permitted unless prior approval has been granted by the Duty Manager.

  • Please report to the Control Room on arrival.
  • Our team will check your ID, confirm the purpose of your visit, and log your entry.
All personal data collected during your visit will be handled securely and in full compliance with data protection regulations.
