How safe is your school campus for you?

School is the first place where a child learns the fundamental blocks of life and it prepares them for their lives ahead. However, besides education, one more thing comes to mind is the safety of your child. Though schools these days are safe as they are paying attention to the safety measures for the students, some of the schools have not yet achieved a secure environment. Thereby, one should always ensure the school campus has specific amenities like Visitor Management Systems, Parking Management Systems, limited entry gates, emergency gates, etc. 
Thus, safety is a top priority that every student and parent should take as a significant concern. So, here we have collated some points that you can add to your checklist to ensure the safety level of your child's school. 

Steps to know how safe your school environment is?
·       Entrance gates 
Less and huge entrance gates in the schools can prevent sneak-peek into the premises. Even these days, many companies are offering automated entrance gates as well to ensure a safe environment within school campuses. 
·       Surveillance cameras
Keeping security a major priority, surveillance cameras must be installed in and around the school campus that will record everything that is being monitored. Even CBSE has also set guidelines in which it has listed installation of cameras at the school premises.
For the times when a guard skips noticing something, the cameras will capture every split second and all the intruders. Not only that, but also it will keep the violence amongst the students in control.
·       Ask the students itself
The students that are already studying in a particular school have good knowledge about the schools' safety system. Thereby, it would help if you go to the source itself and asked students some questions like do they feel safe in the school environment,  is the schools' staff hiding something from the students, how much time it takes a security escort to reach the students in case of any severe circumstances, etc. These questions will help you know the reality of the school and an idea about how safe it is for you to go there. 
·       Security Escorts
Schools are most probably having security guards at the entrances, but they need to have escorts that are better trained and should be there for 24- hours. Conducting patrols should also be taken seriously, especially when the sunsets.  Moreover, they should check the people who are entering the premises and note their purpose and times for later use if some incident happens. Additionally, the parking management system should be handled watchfully as the students, especially the kindergarten ones, can get into serious accidents there.
·       Security at Washrooms (May it be for boys or girls)
Especially for girls, the school must appoint security guards on the washroom entrances for their safety. Another responsibility on the shoulders of school is to check for any peepholes or cameras in the washroom. 
NOTE: the security escorts must be hired through trusted providers only. 

·       Identity and Access Management Solutions
Last but not the least, an automated truMe Identity and Access Management Solution is a must to keep provide a secure, effective yet convenient way to keep your students safe within your educational institute.
