Education Security
Safeguarding campuses, staff, and students
Site security for schools, colleges, and universities — from daily access management to event cover — delivered by officers who understand the specific duty of care an education setting requires.
Education security covers everything from day-to-day access control on a school or campus site to event-specific cover for open days, exams, or graduation ceremonies. Officers working in education settings need a particular kind of judgement — visible enough to reassure parents and staff, approachable enough not to feel like a lockdown environment for students.
Harley Garrison is based in Bradford, covering education sites across West Yorkshire — alongside retail and distribution security.
Risks & challenges in education security
- Access control for large campuses with multiple entry points
- Visitor/parent management, especially around pick-up/drop-off times
- Safeguarding considerations around any adult presence on a school site
- Event-specific cover (open days, exams, graduations, prize-givings)
- Perimeter security for out-of-hours campus access
Diverse hiring on skill and character is particularly relevant here — schools need officers whose presence and tone genuinely fit an environment built around young people. Officers deployed to education sites undergo the same standard DBS check applied across every sector — there is no separate education-specific vetting process beyond this standard.
