Lockdown Procedure in Schools

"Lockdown officer" is a job title given to those in charge of supervising students at their academic institution. This person is responsible for teaching students about safety measures and occasionally assisting staff with violence or property destruction incidents.

In the last decade, the threats to our society have multiplied and evolved in many ways. Criminals don't just want to hurt you; they also want to control your life and control your identity. Money isn't the only thing criminals steal anymore; data and personal information are now just as valuable as cash.

Terrorist organisations have transferred their fight from Iraq and Afghanistan to our back garden, Europe, and we have seen the damage that a small number of determined individuals can do.

Every school day is a lockdown, but are you ready for the consequences of not acting quickly enough to protect yourself?

Being prepared and knowing how to handle an emergency can be invaluable as it means that proactive, positive action can be taken to protect yourself and others in your care. School lockdown procedures are designed to keep all students safe should an emergency occur, but several steps can be taken beforehand to empower staff, students, and parents. First, all schools should have a comprehensive plan in place for the best possible outcome during emergencies. As part of their safety plan, school staff must ensure access to accurate information about what course of action to take.
