School fire and security guidance

The School fire and security guide has been created to help schools assess and manage their fire and security risks.

The guidance is principally aimed at state sector schools. However independent schools may also find the guidance relevant.

Guidance is provided on compliance with fire safety legislation and, where applicable, we have provided recommendations and solutions aimed at addressing specific issues.

Included in the guidance, we have provided reference to British Standards, Loss Prevention Council approved products and national supervisory bodies (such as the National Security Inspectorate – NSI), to ensure that best practice is followed where possible.
