Terms of use
These terms explain how this website may be used and how the information on it should be understood.
This website is operated by Shield & Protect, part of Servable Ltd. By using this website, you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.
1. About Shield & Protect
Shield & Protect provides technology-led services for housing associations, supported housing providers, local authorities, property managers, care and support organisations, landlords and other organisations responsible for safe, compliant and well-managed environments.
Our services may include managed connectivity, environmental monitoring, leak detection, property security, remote access support, safeguarding-focused technology, reporting, compliance visibility and related managed service support.
2. Website information only
The information on this website is provided for general business information. It explains the types of services we can provide, the problems we help solve and the sectors we support.
Nothing on this website creates a contract, service agreement, warranty, professional legal advice, regulatory advice, safeguarding advice, health and safety advice or building compliance advice. Specific services, responsibilities, exclusions, pricing, service levels and deliverables will only be agreed in a separate written proposal, order, statement of work or contract.
3. No automatic service commitment
Completing a form, sending an enquiry, booking a call or discussing a requirement with us does not automatically create a contract or obligation for either party. Any work will be subject to written agreement, appropriate due diligence and acceptance by Shield & Protect or Servable Ltd.
4. Suitability of services
Every property portfolio, supported living scheme, housing environment and operational model is different. Any examples on this website are illustrative only. The right solution will depend on factors such as site layout, building condition, network availability, resident needs, safeguarding requirements, compliance obligations, landlord responsibilities, existing suppliers and operational processes.
We will usually need to review your requirements before recommending a solution. You remain responsible for ensuring that any technology, monitoring, process or reporting arrangement is suitable for your organisation’s legal, regulatory, contractual and safeguarding duties.
5. Safeguarding and compliance
Shield & Protect takes safeguarding seriously and designs services to support safer environments, better visibility and stronger operational control. However, technology is only one part of a wider safeguarding and compliance framework.
Our services do not replace the need for properly trained staff, risk assessments, policies, supervision, resident engagement, statutory reporting, professional judgement or legal/regulatory advice. Organisations using our services remain responsible for their own safeguarding decisions, escalation processes and compliance obligations.
6. Accuracy and availability
We aim to keep the website accurate, useful and up to date. However, we cannot guarantee that all content will always be complete, current or free from errors. We may update, remove or change content at any time without notice.
We do not guarantee that this website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from technical issues. We may suspend or restrict access for maintenance, updates, security reasons or operational requirements.
7. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the content on this website belongs to Shield & Protect, Servable Ltd or its licensors. This includes wording, graphics, icons, layout, branding, logos, service descriptions, page structure, downloadable materials and other website content.
You may view, download or print reasonable extracts for your own internal business review. You must not copy, reproduce, scrape, republish, sell, licence, modify, distribute or commercially exploit our website content without written permission.

9. Enquiry forms and communications
If you submit an enquiry form, you must provide accurate information and only submit details you are entitled to share. We may use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry, discuss your requirements and keep appropriate business records.
Submitting sensitive personal information through our general website forms is not recommended unless we specifically ask for it. Please do not use the website forms to send urgent safeguarding concerns, emergency repair issues, medical information, resident case records or highly confidential information. Urgent matters should be handled through your organisation’s approved emergency, safeguarding or incident reporting process.

11. Service examples and outcomes
Case studies, use cases, problem examples, benefit statements and outcome descriptions on this website are intended to show the types of issues Shield & Protect may help address. They are not guarantees of identical results.
Actual outcomes depend on the condition of the environment, quality of implementation, staff adoption, network coverage, existing processes, third-party dependencies, resident behaviour, funding, governance and other practical factors.
