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.
Most education and public building contracts combine daytime front-of-house cover with out-of-hours protection. The appropriate mix depends on opening hours, site layout, visitor flow and how long the buildings stand empty.
The schemes and bodies AGS Security is accredited by, registered with or a member of. If your procurement process needs certificates or scheme numbers, ask and we will provide the relevant documents.
Security arrangements can be structured around term dates, public opening hours, visitor procedures, restricted areas, events, holiday periods and the specific safeguarding expectations of the site.

Explore East MidlandsEducation 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.
We start by discussing your site, term dates, visitor procedures and any safeguarding or procurement requirements that shape the cover you need.
We review entrances, reception flow, restricted areas, boundary vulnerability and the periods when the site is unoccupied.
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.
Our management team stays available throughout the contract to supervise cover, adjust between term time and holidays, and respond to changing site requirements.
