Within these educational settings there may be different areas depending on year groups and use that require different rights of access. Therefore it may be necessary to differentiate between the areas that individuals are allowed to access.
Installing electronic access control systems therefore helps with health & safety and fire regulation compliance as they enable the arrival and departure times to be recorded of every individual entering and leaving your building. This also means you will have an accurate log of who is in the building at all times.
Most access control systems also offer additional features such as the functionality to be able to restrict access to specific areas of your building during set time periods. For example to prevent access at night or over a weekend. There is also a wide choice of access mechanisms including keypad, fob or card and biometrics.
The size and open plan nature of some campuses may mean that some require a number of access points and it can be hard to prevent access over external perimeter barriers into playing fields and playgrounds can be difficult. By installing access control to all buildings can ensure pupil safety whilst inside and prevent theft or damage of school equipment.
Theft can be quite a challenging issue to address, as pupils and work colleagues are immediately under suspicion and this can lead to undue tensions. It is therefore important to ensure access control restrictions help to deter theft.
It can also quite challenging to control access to educational settings with so many pupils coming and going throughout the day. An access control system can help monitor this and provide real time information on who is on site.
Other issues include users not following best practice security protocols such as sharing access codes, pass cards or access fobs.
