The importance of security for schools

When students feel protected, they’re better able to focus on their education, free from the distractions and anxieties that come with safety concerns. CaseIQ collected multiple studies that suggest a direct causal link between safety in school and a student’s mental and physical health, attendance, performance and behaviour. 

At SECOM, we understand that a well-protected school builds confidence among students, parents and staff. We aim to help you create a safe space where students can thrive emotionally and academically. 

SECOM can also equip your institution with the necessary tools to implement an effective ‘invacuation’ during lockdown scenarios. Whether addressing external incidents or broader safety threats, we ensure your school is prepared.
