CCTV & Security: Keeping your school safe

Keeping your students and staff safe is perhaps one of the most important aspects of being in education. Beyond the usual safeguarding measures, there are additional steps your school can take to improve its overall security effectiveness, and protect your learning environment to a high level.

CCTV CCTV systems and procedures that respect and respond to the importance of safeguarding children benefit your school by providing: A significant deterrent: read more...The knowledge that your school has strategically placed CCTV cameras is often enough to reduce incidents of bad or antisocial behaviour. This can be from students, parents, visitors, and the general public. Someone is less likely to behave inappropriately if they know they are being recorded. Reduced bullying: read more...If a pupil becomes the centre of bullying activities, your CCTV system can help your staff to identify and understand the situation in which it occurs. In turn, this helps your pupils to feel safer at school and in the playground. Staff protection: read more...In the unlikely case that a member of your staff has been falsely accused of misconduct, the recorded CCTV assists in resolving such incidents, providing your staff with the evidence they need to prove that they are doing their job in an effective manner. Detection and evidence: read more...Sometimes schools can become a target for theft, vandalism, and general crime. Our recommended CCTV systems will flag incidents as they happen, which means it is quicker and easier to check through your recordings to find the cause of the crime, helping lead to a conviction.	Door Entry Maximise the security and safety across all areas of the school, not just the entrance or office areas. Some benefits to door entry include: No more keys: read more...With an electronic fob, the worry of any lost keys is gone. Simply deactivate the fob or key card and your building remains secure. No more costly replacing locks. Auto locking: read more...When you're walking around school carrying heavy bags or lots of resources, you don't have the hand to spare to lock the door behind you. With door entry systems, you can set the doors to lock automatically behind you. Zoned access: read more...The areas of access per key card can be changed in accordance with the type of access required. For example, you might not need your teaching assistance to have access to the cleaning cupboard, but your caretaker most certainly needs this accessibility. Fire alarm integration: read more...Door Entry is fully health and safety compliant. For instance, if the fire alarm goes off, the external doors can be set to automatically open to allow all people in the school to leave safely.
