Creating safe and secure environments where learners thrive

A threat and vulnerability assessment giving you a security roadmap.

There will always be risks wherever there are people, the campus environment requires a balance between keeping people safe and maintaining an open and welcoming setting. We help you find that balance.

The threats that exist to the education sector come in many forms – from challenging behaviour that gets out of hand, to external factors like ‘county lines’, theft and vandalism. Mitigating the risks means having in place policies and procedures that everyone knows and understands. ‘Capacity, Capability and Confidence’ are critical.

We have been supporting FE institutions for six years, during which time our service has evolved based on feedback, student behaviour and the differing requirements across sites.

We have developed an assessment model to support the management of risk. The methodology is a precursor to producing robust policies and operational procedures that enable staff to prevent and respond to abnormal events.

Our Risk Management Audit highlights all areas where security (and therefore safeguarding) could be improved. We make recommendations that lead to risk reduction, a safer environment and happier, more successful learners.
