Seclusion Room Intercom Description

Seclusion rooms, also known as time-out rooms or calming rooms, are areas within educational, institutional or healthcare facilities where individuals can be temporarily placed for their own safety and for the safety of others. An intercom system can be installed in seclusion rooms to provide communication between the person inside the room and staff outside the room. This can be useful for monitoring the person’s well-being and ensuring their safety.

“The MHA Code of Practice states that:

Intercom systems for seclusion rooms typically consist of a speaker and microphone inside the room, and a control panel or intercom station outside the room. The intercom system allows staff to speak to the person in the room and the person in the room to respond. Some intercom systems also include a visual component, such as a camera, to allow staff to see the person in the room.

When selecting an intercom system for a seclusion room, it is important to consider factors such as the size of the room, the acoustics of the room, and the number of intercom stations needed. It is also important to consider the durability and reliability of the system, as well as the ease of use and maintenance. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the intercom system meets relevant regulations and standards for safety and privacy.

Also, does the seclusion room have an en-suite that requires communication?
