A site with neighbouring buildings has the advantage of informal
visual supervision.
Well used public routes through the site can also help
supervision.
All boundaries should be clear and the most vulnerable
areas made secure.
Avoid hidden recesses in the building shape.
Avoid easily accessible roofs.
Limit points of entry to the school buildings.

One building is easier to secure than several.
Entrances should be secure and visible to staff, possibly
with a secure lobby.
Well positioned CCTV cameras help act as a deterent and
allow supervision.
External lighting is important for safety as well as
security, particularly as schools will be open longer hours.
Alarm systems and sprinkler systems should be up to date
and well maintained. |
