Security

Effective risk management of school property reduces vandalism, improves the security of schools and improves the learning and working environment for pupils and staff. It also delivers good value for money ensuring better targeting of resources and reducing the cost of avoidable losses.

The key factors of effective 'risk management' are:

identify and evaluate risk areas
promote a partnership commitment to risk management
improve control over access to schools
install physical measures to protect schools from crime
design crime out of schools
improve risk management education, training and awareness
develop effective information systems
co-ordinate support for local, community and cross cutting solutions

The London Borough of Ealing will adopt a 'spend to save' philosophy through the implementation of a pro-active risk management strategy, while initiating 'short term' and 'long term' initiatives to combat the ever changing threats and risks.
