- Who is the Home Security poster for?
- Home Security belongs to the Practical skills section rather than to a school year, because life skills is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning home can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Home Security poster?
- Most burglaries are opportunistic. Visible difficulty is what deters them. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Home Security belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Home Security?
- Cleaning a Room, Cleaning Products and Decluttering sit alongside Home Security in the Practical skills section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Cleaning a RoomCleaning ProductsDecluttering
- Is the Home Security poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Home Security downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Practical skills section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Home Security poster print at?
- Home Security is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Home Security loses nothing.Printing guide
