Lockdown Procedure in Schools

In the last decade, the threats to our society have multiplied and evolved in many ways. Terrorist organisations have transferred their fight from Iraq and Afghanistan to our back garden, Europe – and we have seen the damage that a small number of determined individuals can do.

This Online Lockdown Procedure in School E-Learning course will start by introducing the lockdown officer’s role then discuss some of the likely reasons for a lockdown. It then goes over some of the steps you can take to prepare your school for lockdown as well as what to do in the event of a lockdown taking place.
