    The document discusses conducting a security survey and risk assessment to determine risks, trends in incidents, required security measures, and efficiency of current measures through analyzing incidence of crime, the school environment and buildings, and effectiveness of security measures.

    The assessment considers incidence of crime in the past 12 months such as trespassing, vandalism, theft/burglary, fire, attacks on staff or pupils, and drug/solvent abuse to determine the type and scale of risks facing the school.

    The assessment of the school's environment and buildings considers factors such as the crime rate of the surrounding area, how the school is overlooked, boundaries/fences/gates, entrances, car parking, condition of buildings, presence of recesses/courtyards, security of exit doors/windows/roof-lights, presence of valuable equipment, and fire precautions.

    Security survey and risk assessment

    What risks does your school face?

    This survey and risk assessment will allow you to determine

    • type and scale of risk

    • trends or patterns in incidents involving your school

    • security measures required

    • efficiency of your chosen security measures

    Complete the three-part assessment that analyses:

    • incidence of crime

    • environment and buildings

    • effectiveness of security measures

    Based on your level of threat, the assessment recommends appropriate security


    measures for your school.

    Completing the survey should take 3 minutes. You will be asked questions on incidence of
    crime in the past 12 months, security measures employed and the school environment
    and buildings.

    A text version of this survey may be downloaded here

    Part 1 Incidence of crime

    This section assesses the type, scale, and patterns of incidents that have occurred in the
    last 12 months. This part of the risk assessment can be based on a log of reported
    incidents. If your school does not yet have a reporting procedure, a more subjective
    assessment will have to be made, possibly based on discussion with the local police crime
    prevention officer.

    Part 2 Environment and buildings

    This section of the survey assesses the environmental and building factors that contribute
    to school security.
    Part 3 Security measures

    This section assesses the effectiveness of security measures employed.

    The items in parts 2 and 3 can (for the most part) be assessed by a walk-through survey
    of the school.

    Each item in the assessment is graded from 0 to 5 points. A score of 0 indicates a low
    security risk, 5 a high security risk.

    Example

    In the example below, if your school has had no cases of trespass reported in the last 12
    months then the risk would be perceived as low and a score of 0 would be recorded.

    If, however, your school has no fence or an incomplete fence, resulting in children playing
    or people walking their dogs in the school grounds, then the score could be 3 or higher:
