Importance of Security in Schools

Ensuring the safety and security of Student and staff in a building is a top concern for many schools and educational institutions.
Educational institutions, such as Schools, Childcare Centre, Kindergartens, Polytechnics, and Universities all have a statutory Duty of Care to safeguard the safety of learners during their hours spent at the school facilities.
This means protecting them from illegitimate intruders with criminal intent, who might otherwise cause unpleasant nuisance and even inflict physical abuse.

2. incident of an intrusion by a sex offender,
3. Volatile situation of an angry parent with restraining order entering school
3. Management of Volunteers & Vendors

3. Volunteer & Vendor Movement Management

It is common theses days for schools and educational institutions to have visitors who need to come in and out of your facilities on a regular basis for an extended period of time. This includes visitors such as Parent volunteers, Alumni helpers as well as 3rd party contractor and Maintenance services provider who all need to be properly identified and tracked, to ensure the safety of students, staff, and assets within the school organization. With a school visitor management system, you will be able to more effectively manage the identification, coordination, and tracking of your volunteers and vendors entry and exit movement in and out of the school more effectively.

Use of Visitor photo ID badge for Regular Visitors

Due to the typically high frequency of volunteer visit, and a high number of volunteer head count coming into a facility for voluntary activities, the use of a wearable photo ID badge or RFID-based Key fob is recommended, in order to streamline the check-in process for frequent visitors. This also means that after their enrollment into the visitor management system during the first initial visit, they can simply check-in using the volunteer Photo ID badge for all their subsequent visits. This can help to save money in the long run by avoiding the relatively high cost of implementing a single-use self-expiring visitor ID sticker tag pass, which involves the printing on a new piece of self-adhesive sticker tag every time they come to volunteer at your location. In addition, an added benefit of a volunteer ID badge is that it can be programmed to contain more detailed information concerning the volunteers. An optional barcode functionality can also be used to provide a customized level of access control permission within the school premises.

1. Theft of school assets
2. Vandalism and Damage to school facilities

2. Visitor Self Service Capability

2. Visitor Management Automation

At the same time though, a school visitor management system can also help to improve the overall visitor service level by allowing guests to use the school visitor management system in the form of a self-service standalone kiosk to register themselves. In addition, you are also able to keep tabs on your reception area through webcams.
The convenience of having a self-registration check-in process tech functionality not only helps to create a positive visiting experience for anyone who comes to visit your school but it also helps to reduce the dependency on your front desk, company administrative staff.

3. Instant Screening for Blacklisted Visitors

3. Instantaneous Visitor Screening against Database Record of Banned Visitors

In the event that a visitor’s identity information positively matches with a record in the database of banned visitors, the visitor will be denied access to the school premises. At the same time, an alert notification will be sent to the relevant staff. Reasons for denial of entry to blacklisted visitors can be due to a broad range of reasons, such as

1. Parents and Guardians who have legal restraining orders enforced on them
2. Visiting parent who is bounded by legal agreements where they are not permitted to picking up their children from school premises.
3. Sex offender Criminal history
4. Illegal Workers from 3rd party vendor with no valid work permits

Visitor Screening against White list Database

This helps to manage and prevent any possible incidents of child abductions, or physical assault.

Disadvantages of Visitor Sign-in Books

1. No Protective Screening

1. Lack of Protective Screening Against Blacklisted Visitors

Usually, when a manual log book is used to manage and record visitor movement, security front desk staff often have to rely on their visual recognition or inefficient paper records to recognize banned visitors (such as those with restraining orders or Visitors with criminal history) More often than not, such reliance on memory and visual recognition of the front desk administrative staff is highly unreliable especially during peak periods where there is an extremely high volume of incoming visiting traffic

2. False Sense of Protection

2. False Sense of Security Protection

Conventional Paper-based visitor log books often create a false sense of protection and are often perceived by security management as an affordable and simple visitor management solution that gets the job done. This cannot be further from the truth, as this lack of understanding often leads to school being exposed to huge security vulnerability which they are often unaware of. Please do not wait until there is a security intrusion before deciding to implement a visitor sign in system, it will be too late by then.

3. Inefficient Visitor Report Generation

3. Unproductive Report Generation of Visitor History

Every time a visitor report has to be generated, the data from the manually handwritten visitor entries have to be manually extracted line by line and reentered into the visitor management software. This is an extremely laborious administrative process which is both time-consuming and inaccurate. The situation is often made worse by fuzzy handwriting entries which are illegible, incomplete and unverifiable.

4. Illegible Handwritten Visitor Entries

4. Handwritten Visitor Records that is Illegible & Unreliable

Handwritten visitor entries on visitor paper sign-in sheets are often filled with incomplete information or unreadable manual handwritten entries. This effectively renders the school’s visitor records unreliable. Plus tracking back the visit historical records can be a huge challenge. In short, a Paper-based visitor log books simply don’t offer any level of security protection to keep your school premises safe from illegitimate entry.

5. Unverifiable Visitor Information

5. Unverifiable and Possibly False Visitor Information

Manual screening of visitors coming into school facility premises typically involves getting the visitors to fill up a paper visitor sign-in log book or form, to provide basic information such as 1. Name, 2. NRIC, 3. The purpose of Visit, 4. Time of arrival & Time of departure. The main flaw which such a method of visitor management is that absolutely none of the information provided by the visitor is verifiable as true. In fact, a potential illegitimate trespasser could easily bypass the front desk receptionist by simply providing falsified information. Such an inefficient checking of every visitor actually end up screening none of the visitors entering the premises. It is definitely not a feasible solution at all on a long term basis. In fact, the lack of a visitor management system presents a very severe security loophole that can be easily taken advantage of.

What is a School Visitor Management System (VMS)?

What is a School Visitor Management System (VMS)?

A VMS is a system compromised of various different tools and services, all designed to give you more control and awareness over who is inside your business at any given time. At the same time, it also includes ‘access management’ so that you can assign levels of access to different members of staff and even visitors. There are several components that make up a VMS system. The solution provided by [BUSINESS] utilizes:

– A webcam
– Biometric fingerprint reader
– Barcard scanner
– Thermal printer for self-expiring label pass
– Desktop computer software
– Visitor management software
– Self-help kiosk for visitor self-registration

Using these integrated systems, your school can then provide new visitors with guest passes that they can use to swipe through terminals and gain access to the building. This means you will be able to keep tabs on precisely who is in the building at any given time. Biometric information ensures that all guests provide accurate details, while the smart thermal technology ensures that the same cards can’t be used repeatedly. From there, it is up the school management to decide how they want to handle visitors. You can now choose precisely which areas of the building will be off-limits to visitors, or decide if you want guests to be able to serve themselves using the kiosks.
