Solutions for schools

Access Control
Where is the biggest theft risk? Interestingly, it’s directly where people enter your building. The fundamental principal is to ensure that access is ‘automatically’ limited and controlled. But before you invest in complex access systems first of all do the simple things – for example push button locks on internal doors so anyone who gains access cannot get very far. Also, make sure you put up ‘staff only’ signs to show what is off-limits and ensure staff automatically challenge strangers.

Visitor Management / Reception Security
Do you know that a visitor / contractor who comes into your school is who they say they are? Chubb’s Visitor Express system is the perfect solution to this problem. For further details, please click here.

Personal Security
Increasingly staff in every business are subject to personal attack. There are two types of personal attack switches – fixed and mobile. Fixed personal attack switches – are ideal for use in schools where staff are usually at one location. They are small and unobtrusive and feature two buttons that must be pressed simultaneously in order to minimise the risk of accidental activation.

CCTV
CCTV is not as expensive as many might think, indeed electronic surveillance systems can be one of the most cost-effective measures you can adopt for your premises. They have the wider benefits of enabling traffic management and the management of personnel.
