Expertise and Experience in Schools Fencing and Gates |

|
As well as parents expecting their children to be safe from intruders, schools want to prevent truancy by controlling when and where children can leave. In addition, the personal safety of staff and visitors is of considerable concern to Local Education Authorities (LEAs).
Today's schools also contain valuable and portable property that is attractive to thieves, and arson is a significant problem that can, to a large extent, be tackled by preventing unauthorised access.
With arson resulting in damage worth around £60million each year through attacks on an average 20 schools per week, improvements here are highly beneficial.
However, schools have to remain an attractive learning environment, and LEAs are being encouraged to open their schools to the wider community. Adequate security therefore has to be achieved without schools looking like prison camps.
Furthermore, research shows that aggressive security measures can make establishments appear at risk: and if there is a perception that crimes are being committed, this can itself lead to an increase in crime.
