SIA-Licensed, DBS-Checked Officers

Security for Schools, Colleges and Public Sector Sites

AGS Security provides school security services and public building protection for academies, colleges, universities, council offices, libraries and leisure centres across England, Scotland and Wales. Education and public sector sites face a particular combination of risks: open access during the day, valuable IT equipment on site, and long holiday periods when buildings sit empty.

Our officers are SIA-licensed and DBS-checked, and work to your existing safeguarding and visitor procedures. From front-of-house reception cover during term time to patrol visits and key holding through school holidays, we provide security that fits how your site actually operates.

Our Education Security Services

Security Services for Education and Public Sector Sites

Most education and public building contracts combine daytime front-of-house cover with out-of-hours protection. The right mix depends on your opening hours, site layout and how long the buildings stand empty.

Reception Security

Front-of-house cover managing visitor sign-in, contractor access and deliveries, providing a controlled and welcoming first point of contact during opening hours.

Manned Guarding

SIA-licensed, DBS-checked officers providing static cover and internal patrols during term time, events and extended opening.

Mobile Patrols

Scheduled patrol visits through evenings, weekends and school holidays, when buildings stand empty and are most vulnerable to trespass and vandalism.

Key Holding & Alarm Response

We hold keys and respond to alarm activations so your staff are not called out at night or during the holidays.

Our Security Process

How We Deliver Education and Public Building Security

Education and public sector sites need officers who understand safeguarding, visitor procedure and the difference between term time and holiday cover. AGS Security follows a structured four-stage process so every assignment is properly assessed, appropriately staffed and effectively managed.

01

Consultation & Planning

We start by discussing your site, term dates, visitor procedures and any safeguarding or procurement requirements that shape the cover you need.

  • Initial security consultation
  • Term-time and holiday cover review
  • Safeguarding and visitor priorities
02

Site & Risk Assessment

We review entrances, reception flow, restricted areas, boundary vulnerability and the periods when the site is unoccupied.

  • Entry and exit point assessment
  • Boundary and unoccupied period checks
  • Recommended officer deployment
03

Officer Briefing & Deployment

SIA-licensed, DBS-checked officers are selected for the site, assigned clear duties and briefed on your safeguarding and visitor procedures before their first shift.

  • Officer role allocation
  • Reception and patrol briefing
  • Incident and escalation procedures
04

Ongoing Operational Support

Our management team stays available throughout the contract to supervise cover, adjust between term time and holidays, and respond to changing requirements.

  • Ongoing operational supervision
  • Clear reporting to site management
  • Rapid cover for absence and escalation

Frequently Asked Questions

Planning security cover for a school, college or public building? Below are answers to the questions we're most commonly asked about our education and public sector security services.
Do you provide school security services across the UK?
Are your officers DBS-checked?
Can you provide cover during school holidays?
Yes. Holiday cover is one of the most common requirements we handle for education sites. Empty buildings over long holiday periods are exposed to trespass, vandalism and theft of IT equipment, so we provide mobile patrol visits, key holding and alarm response, or static cover where the site warrants it.
