School Lockdown and Digital Alert Systems
There have been several incidents in recent weeks of schools having to initiate their School Lockdown System Procedures due to trespassers or threats to safety.
The latest reported incident happened at Ysgol Nantgwyn in Wales and was initiated due to a threat towards staff from a pupil.
The pupil in question was not on site at the time, but the school went into lockdown as a precaution.
Once the lockdown was called, doors were secured, blinds drawn and lights were turned out, and pupils were instructed to hide under their desks. This is absolutely the correct procedure in a lockdown situation, and according to reports, the school and staff handled the incident swiftly and efficiently.
Schools need to make sure that they have a system and procedures in place in the event of a lockdown. And that all staff and pupils are aware of the procedures and what is expected of them.
