Schools present unique security challenges: high footfall, vulnerable users, and public-private interfaces. Secured by Design provides a framework to mitigate risks.

Key SBD considerations include:

● Secure perimeters and gated access
● Zoning to separate public, pupil, and staff areas
● Lockdown procedures and secure internal layouts

Graphite Security has worked on multiple school projects to advise architects and project teams on proportionate, safeguarding-led design that meets DfE and SBD standards.
