International school leaders often inherit existing security services and emergency procedures with standards and operational effectiveness that can vary dramatically. As with host-country emergency assistance capabilities, these standards should be thoroughly evaluated and tested. School administrators need security and emergency measures that are not only in line with their child protection and safeguarding policies, but can effectively mitigate the risks identified in each unique school profile.
Grounded in a commitment to student safety, our mission is to provide international schools with the strategies to implement effective security measures and emergency management planning.
We help schools develop realistic and effective incident and emergency procedure plans, including emergency response team evaluation and training. By doing so, we assist administrators in meeting their duty-of-care student safety responsibilities, in line with international school accreditation expectations.
We draw from the consolidation of lessons learned during real-life operational experiences, gained while protecting reputable organizations in hostile environments and conflict zones. This is combined with in-depth practical knowledge from having implemented and run international school security procedures at ground level. We then channel it all into a meaningful and real consultancy service available to school administrators.
