Education security experts
As academic spaces go, further and higher educational institutions with large campuses or multi-site locations face similar security challenges to the UK’s visitor attractions, transport hubs and large event spaces. With high footfall, and visitors arriving and leaving throughout the day, security services play an important role in safeguarding students, and keeping staff and visitors safe.
Amulet provides a range of specialist security services to schools, colleges and universities. Services include:
Security personnel
Our security personnel are on hand to:
- Manage the security reception and building entry
- Greet visitors
- Patrol sites both on foot and in vehicles on larger campuses
- Respond to incidents
- Support special events as necessary
- Provide safeguarding support to students and staff
Security technology
Amulet technology is deployed at sites around the UK to help with location and situation monitoring. Common services include:
- CCTV monitoring, installation and maintenance
- Access control systems
- SiteGuard provision and associated remote monitoring
- Knife arches like those found in transport hubs to stop weapons being brought into educational settings
Security consultancy
Our security specialists are also available to help advise on the best mix of options for optimum site security. We typically consult with schools, colleges and universities on emergency preparedness and organisational resiliency. We help our customers keep up to date with the law and compliant with their security arrangements.
In addition to advising customers, and often in conjunction with the local police, our security teams even get involved in educating students about their personal safety. This is typically organised around freshers’ weeks where new students are experiencing the university/college and the surrounding localities for the first time.
In schools, we take an active role in educating children/students about the dangers of playing on, or near, railway lines. We support RailSafe in a variety of ways.
