Parents trust a school with their children for six to eight hours every day. Good campus security makes sure strangers do not walk in, children leave only with the right person, and any emergency is handled calmly.
Essential security measures
- Single controlled entry with a visitor register and ID check.
- Pick-up cards or verification for children leaving with parents.
- Lady guards for girls’ toilets, hostels and frisking.
- Traffic and bus management at opening and closing time.
- Boundary patrol and watch on unused areas.
- Night watch for the campus, labs and computer rooms.
Hostel security
Hostels need in-out registers, curfew enforcement, visitor rules and round-the-clock guards, with lady guards for girls’ hostels. Regular checks by a supervisor keep standards from slipping.
Emergency readiness
- Fire drills and evacuation plans every term.
- First-aid trained guards and a first-aid kit at the gate.
- A clear lockdown plan if an intruder enters.
- Emergency numbers displayed at the security cabin.
