Social Services have asked me to fit a Key Safe at the home of an

Anyone got any experience - good or bad - of either of these from
Toolstation?

Those do not appear to be part of the Secured by Design initiative. This
one is, there may be others:

They've said they want it by the front door as they don't like going
to the rear of the house in the dark --- which seems reasonable.
Also, I guess a scrote could work unobserved at the rear. But putting
it near the front door leaves it visible from the road. Any
suggestions for making it accessible but unobtrusive?

Very difficult to give specific advice without seeing the site and you
ought not to post pictures for us to do that. The best option would
probably be to call in a proper locksmith to advise, supply and fit. It
won't be as cheap as buying one from Toolstation, but a locksmith will
have a lot of experience in making it at least as secure as the front
door itself.
