Creating Safer Schools In Doncaster!
We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Doncaster, Ros Jones, along with Damien Allen, James Church, and our valued partner, Exceed Learning Partnership, to our new building. During the visit, we discussed the work we’re doing in schools nationally to keep children and staff safe.
In 2025, we officially launched our Safer Schools initiative, with the mission of transforming school environments into safer spaces for students and staff alike. Safer schools don’t just protect children – they help them learn, communicate, and thrive in environments where they feel secure.
Our mission is to listen to schools, understand their pain points and challenges, and work together to develop solutions that suit the school, its staff, children, and parents. The results have been remarkable: children are safer, happier, and thriving in their new environments.
The Mayor’s visit allowed us to showcase the ongoing impact of our Safer Schools work, reinforcing our shared commitment to ensuring every young person can thrive in a safe and supportive learning environment, both locally and nationally.
Our Safer Schools portfolio aligns with DFE guidance and Martyn’s Law, drawing on over 45 years of experience and supporting more than 300 schools. It includes:
- Lockdown & Tannoy Systems – clear announcements and emergency alerts for calm, coordinated responses.
- Two-Way Radios – instant, secure communication for everyday operations and emergencies.
- Body Cameras & CCTV – discreet, reliable tools that deter incidents and provide clear evidence.
- Metal Detectors – Deter and prevent items from entering the premises
- Smart Detectors – real-time alerts for vaping, aggression, and unsafe behaviour.
- Web Filtering – AI-powered systems that block harmful content while supporting safeguarding, wellbeing, and mental health.
During the visit, we worked with Exceed Learning Partnership to understand the specific needs of schools in Doncaster, understanding the needs of students, teachers, and parents about the challenges they face.
As a community, we believe in giving the next generation the chance to thrive safely – because safer schools mean better learning, happier children, and stronger communities.
“Our mission is simple: safer spaces for learning today mean thriving leaders for tomorrow.”
