Keyholding for Schools

RISK MANAGEMENT SECURITY SERVICES

Keyholding for Schools, Keep Your Keys Safe.

Why Schools Choose Our Keyholding Service

Running a school means balancing safeguarding, budgets, and operational resilience. Our keyholding for schools removes the risk and inconvenience of asking staff to attend alarm activations out of hours, while improving response times, documentation, and insurance compliance.

• Reduce risk to staff: no out‑of‑hours callouts for caretakers
• Faster, trained response to alarm activations and breaches
• Clear audit trails for Ofsted and governors
• Cost‑effective vs. internal on-call arrangements
• Seamless cover across term time, weekends, and holidays
