Education

Schools and colleges face a variety of risks, not least of which comes from unwanted intruders, arsonists and vandals. In an open environment where public, staff and pupils are free to use the facilities the risks are even higher.

The cost to manage the security of buildings can be high in terms of school closures and investigation.

It is a difficult balance to provide freedom and access but to protect staff, pupils and buildings.

Educational establishments are only too aware of the duty of care to pupils and staff .Often with limited resources the need for a cost effective, reliable and flexible system is of prime importance.

By choosing a PAC access control system you will be able to cover the areas of greatest risk namely;

Unwanted visitors-to buildings or classrooms can be controlled and monitored
Visible deterants such as CCTV linked to access control in common areas such as playgrounds
Compliance with DDA requirements to give access to disabled staff or pupils
Out of hours protection linking access control to CCTV and intruder detection
Building evacuation and muster call reporting for staff by linking fire detection to access control
Central control allowing the easy adding or deleting of access to pupils and staff
Provision of different levels of security for different locations. For example records office, staff areas and medical facilities

At PAC we have a wealth of experience in the education sector and can advise on installation and product selection to suit budget and operating requirements.
