Keeping children safe in the school premises is not just about ring fencing them into a given area. It is equally important to take the relevant steps to ensure the ‘safe area’ boasts effective security measures to act as a deterrent to any unauthorised visitors.
So we have devised a tool kit to help keep your school safe and secure, if you require any further advice on perimeter security or access control please call one of our security advisers on 0800 408 2236.
With the on-going pressure on school budgets, it is imperative that any investment in fencing and access control measures represents a responsible use of public funds. Whenever possible, schools should take a long-term view on investment in capital purchases and select products which offer a long life expectancy giving a low life time cost.
All Jacksons timber and steel fencing and gates are manufactured in the UK and are designed to deliver fitness for purpose, low maintenance and carry class leading 25 year guarantees to provide lowest lifetime cost. And it’s not just the cost in monetary terms that must be assessed. Increasingly schools are being required to demonstrate sound environmental practice to protect the earth’s finite resources. Jacksons Fencing has achieved certification under the environmental chain-of-custody schemes of both the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) for its timber products.

School security covers a wide range of topics but research commissioned by the DfES (Department for Education and Skills), (published in April 2003) identified the personal safety of staff, pupils and visitors to be the No1 safety concern within schools, followed by worries relating to intrusion onto school premises, vandalism, arson and burglary.
Clearly, effective perimeter security and a well thought out access control strategy have an important role to play in responding to these concerns.
