Parents feel more comfortable sending their children to school knowing there is security fencing in place, reducing the risk of intruders. Fencing is also favourable for teachers, as it is an effective method of ensuring children cannot leave and can always be found on school premises. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/utility-security-fencing\/\" title=\"How perimeter fencing protects utility security\">fencing in schools also has to be safe and secure<\/a>. Here are some things we think should be taken into consideration:<\/p>\n<h2>What the fence achieves<\/h2>\n<p>When choosing or deciding to install a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-fence-toppings\/\" title=\"3 security fence toppings for your perfect fencing solution\">security fence<\/a> for a school, you should ensure that it will do everything it needs to begin the process before. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/value-of-fencing\/\" title=\"Does your boss need convincing about the value of fencing? Focus on these 4 reasons\">fence needs<\/a> to clearly mark the school\u2019s boundaries and deter intruders from entering these boundaries. If people are to try still, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/business-security-fencing\/\" title=\"Do you need to increase your business security for 2018?\">fence needs to deter them or increase<\/a> its time to access the grounds. For example, the higher the fence, the harder it is to climb. It also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fencing-every-school-needs\/\" title=\"5 different types of fencing every school needs\">needs to prevent children from leaving the school<\/a> grounds without a teacher&#8217;s permission, but it cannot be a material that will injure any children were they to come in contact with the fence.<\/p>\n<h2>Conducting a risk assessment<\/h2>\n<p>When determining the factors mentioned above, a risk assessment is normally the best place to start. You can find various checklists online, or we can help with this. As part of the risk assessment, you should consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fencing-protects-local-environment\/\" title=\"How fencing protects the local environment\">environment and buildings in and outside the fence<\/a>, security measures, and the incidence of crime in the area.<\/p>\n<h2>Correct installation<\/h2>\n<p>If a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/swimming-pool-railings\/\" title=\"What should you consider when installing swimming pool fencing?\">fence is poorly installed<\/a>, it won\u2019t work to the best of its abilities. This would mean you\u2019ll have wasted money, and it could put <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/zaun-make-perfect-fence-at-ruislip-high-school\/\" title=\"Zaun makes perfect fence at Ruislip High School\">school<\/a> children at risk. Correct installation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/casestudies\/barracks-fencing\/\" title=\"Royal Artillery Barracks secured\">security fencing<\/a> will also mean aesthetically; it will be appropriate. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/school-fencing\/primary-school-fencing\/\">school\u2019s<\/a> first impression is significant, and a poorly installed fence may give potential parents or Ofsted the school doesn\u2019t pay as much attention to its security as it should.<\/p>\n<p>For premium security fencing for your school, contact us at <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/\">Zaun<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fencing is becoming increasingly more important in schools for multiple reasons.
