Safeguarding-aware security for public buildings
Councils, schools, colleges and other public bodies need security that understands the people who use their buildings: pupils, students, residents, visitors with complex needs. Officers working in these settings are vetted for the role, briefed on safeguarding and trained to deal with difficult situations without escalation.
For education clients we provide front-desk security and visitor management during the day, patrols of unoccupied buildings out of hours, key holding and alarm response, and additional cover for exams, open days and evening events. For councils and public bodies we cover reception areas, housing offices, libraries and leisure facilities, and provide patrols for depots and unoccupied property.
How we work with public bodies
- Officers with the enhanced checks the role requires, documented for your records.
- Procedures agreed with the designated safeguarding lead or facilities manager.
- Key holding and alarm response so that staff are not called out at night.
- Mobile patrol visits to unoccupied buildings and depots.
- Reporting and management information suitable for contract reviews and audits.
We are used to procurement processes and can supply the policies, insurance and accreditation evidence required for tenders and framework applications.
Public sector and education security: common questions
Do your officers have enhanced DBS checks?
Where the role requires it, yes. The level of check is agreed with you and the evidence is kept on file.
Can you provide cover during school holidays only?
Yes. Patrol visits and alarm response during holiday periods are a common arrangement for schools and colleges.
Do you respond to tenders and frameworks?
Yes. We can provide the documentation that public-sector procurement typically requires, including policies, insurance certificates and accreditation evidence.
