Security Risk Assessment

School security and safety assessments help school officials identify potential vulnerabilities, as well as strengths relating to security and safety for students, staff and visitors. School safety, security, climate, culture, and emergency preparedness assessments can be an excellent way to improve school safety efforts while also enhancing the ability of teachers to teach and students to learn.  Vision Safety Solutions Inc. assists our clients focus on no-cost and low-cost ways to improve safety, security and emergency preparedness while helping schools create more pleasant, professional and effective learning and work environments. 

These school emergency preparedness assessments are one of the most effective ways to identify significant gaps in crisis planning before an incident reveals them with chronic plan failure. These gaps are commonly not revealed during traditional school drills, tabletop exercises, functional exercises and full-scale exercises due to the inherent lack of opportunity for independent decision making for these types of drills and exercises. Chronic plan failure has occurred in several school organizations after they have expended millions of dollars on preparedness only to have plans with simple gaps that should have been identified.

The results of our assessments are typically presented to the client organization through individual assessment reports for each assessed building as well as a master strategic report for the district. Both types of reports will include photos taken from the assessments for illustration of key findings when appropriate.

We can also present our findings in person instead of or in addition to written reports depending on the needs of the client.
