Educational institutions face a number of internal and external threats on a daily basis, which can create anxiety for teachers, parents and the wider community. Whether it’s contraband, intrusion or violence, school security problems can happen at almost any time and affect a large number of people.

It is becoming increasingly more common that schools and other educational establishments are seeking help in the form of professional services to help put school security protocols in place. With a thorough plan and a set of established school security measures, young people can be safeguarded and some of society’s most vulnerable people can be protected.

Intruders or unwelcome visitors

In the case of an intruder or unwelcome visitor, the first port of call should be to secure entrances and exits. Using CCTV is a great way to see who is coming and going from the school grounds, and keeps you one step ahead of an unwanted guest. This is one of the simplest school security measures and can also help with preventing bullying, reducing and monitoring storage areas.

Kings Unique Security offer a manned guard service, too, with thoroughly vetted, screened and trained school security guards. They can be positioned at reception, parking slot, control entry and access, or patrol perimeters.

Contraband

From trading cards to music players, and from alcohol to pocket knives, contraband comes in many forms. Depending on your rules and restrictions on what students can bring into school, it is paramount to have contraband measures within your school security protocols. While some items can cause disruption and distractions, others can cause serious harm to students, teachers and other members of staff.

Violence

Whether it is from a student, parent or disgruntled member of staff, violence has no place on a school’s grounds.
