Security Solutions for Educational Establishments

Over the years, largely through word-of-mouth recommendations, UK Watch Technologies has become a trusted provider of security and safety systems for schools, colleges, nurseries, and other educational facilities across the UK.

We stay fully up to date with the latest Safeguarding criteria and work closely with Local Education Authority (LEA) Safeguarding teams to ensure that all protection measures are meticulously planned and implemented.

Our team is highly experienced in engaging with Governors, teaching staff, and parents—many of whom may have understandable concerns or misconceptions about what modern safety systems are designed to do. We take time to explain how these systems function, what risks they address, and how they protect both pupils and staff. Recognising that some may initially view such systems—particularly CCTV—as intrusive, we draw on our extensive sector knowledge and, where helpful, connect schools with others who have successfully implemented similar solutions. This collaborative approach consistently helps to build confidence and reduce concerns.

We provide a comprehensive range of protection systems, including but not limited to:

•     Intruder alarms

•     CCTV

•     Access control

•     Fire alarms

•     Class change systems

•     Tannoy (PA) systems

•     Intercom systems

•     Automated gates, barriers, and turnstiles

•     Lockdown systems

•     Walk-through metal detectors

•     COVID temperature-screening cameras (now rarely required but still available)

…and much more.

Since 1998, we have delivered tailored security installations for educational establishments of every size—from simple intruder alarms in nurseries to advanced, broadcast-quality CCTV systems with audio for secondary schools. One such installation enables live transmission of sports and social events from Astroturf pitches to classrooms, and after hours, the same system switches to AI-driven motion detection linked to a Remote Monitoring Station for real-time surveillance and police alerts when required.

Our proven track record demonstrates tangible reductions in key issues faced by schools, including bullying, fights, break-ins, theft, assaults, classroom disorder, violent crime, drug use, possession of weapons, and sexual abuse.

All of our staff are:

•     Enhanced DBS checked

•     Appendix C West Midlands Police cleared

•     SSAIB registered (UKAS-accredited, ensuring compliance with industry standards)

•     ECS certified (Electrotechnical Certification Scheme)

Our team also has extensive experience working within SEN environments, ensuring that all installations are appropriate, sensitive, and fully compliant.

Whatever your needs, UK Watch Technologies can deliver a safe, effective, and fully integrated solution.
