Designing better mental healthcare facilities

Anti-ligature TV cabinet and noticeboard

Tough Furniture has responded to ‘growing awareness of the importance of reducing ligature risk in all areas of secure mental health environments, and not just serviceusers’ bedrooms’, by introducing a wallmounted TV protection cabinet, the ALTV, which ‘combines an elegant, non-intrusive appearance with practical risk reduction through its signature sloping top and bottom design’.

A further addition to Tough Furniture’s ‘roster’ of anti-ligature furniture for shared spaces is a ‘unique’ new Anti-Ligature Noticeboard (ALNB). The company said: “Constructed from solid 50 mm ash, the sloping top, bottom, and sides, help the ALNB to not only look good on the wall, but can also help lower the ligature risk in any environment when compared with standard noticeboards. All the usual Tough Furniture robustness and security features are built in – with dovetail-reinforced mitre joints, a specially produced heavy-duty strip hinge, 6 mm polycarbonate door, and 9 mm solid Sundeala board for the pinboard backing. There are also no externally visible fittings.
