[Request a Quote](/quote) Schools, colleges and universities present one of the most complex security environments of any sector. Open campuses, high footfall from students, staff and visitors, extended hours for evening events and community use, and a duty of care that goes beyond protecting property — all of these demand a security approach that is firm but considered. SPS Security works with education providers across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire to protect people, property and reputation. Specialist security for schools, colleges and universities. Balancing open, welcoming campuses with genuine protection for students, staff and assets — delivered by officers who understand the education environment. ## Key risks in this sector - Unauthorised visitors on campus - Student and staff safety incidents - Out-of-hours intruder risk - Vandalism and antisocial behaviour - Vehicle and bicycle theft - Safeguarding and lone worker risks - Event security for open days and evening events - Drug-related incidents ## Common challenges - Maintaining a welcoming environment whilst controlling access - Managing security across large multi-building campuses - Covering extended hours including evenings and weekends - Responding proportionately to incidents involving young people - Protecting high-value IT and equipment ## How we work in this sector Security in an education environment requires a different approach to industrial or commercial settings. Our officers working in schools, colleges and universities are selected for their communication skills as much as their security training — able to engage positively with students, manage difficult situations calmly and support staff without creating an institutional or intimidating atmosphere. We understand safeguarding requirements and the particular sensitivities of working in environments with young people and vulnerable adults. We work closely with site managers, business managers and facilities teams in education to ensure security arrangements are always aligned with term dates, timetables and event schedules. Named account managers provide a consistent point of contact throughout the contract. SPS provides security to education providers across Hull, the East Riding, Leeds, Sheffield, Doncaster and Lincolnshire. Our Hull and Grimsby offices provide local management and rapid response across the region. ## Security services for Education [ ### Security Guarding Learn more ](/services/security-guarding)[ ### Mobile Patrols Learn more ](/services/mobile-patrols)[ ### Keyholding & Alarm Response Learn more ](/services/keyholding-alarm-response)[ ### CCTV & Remote Monitoring Learn more ](/services/control-room)[ ### Technical Security Learn more ](/services/technical-security) ## Our regional offices ### SPS Security — Hull Office Neptune House, Neptune Street, Hull HU3 2BP [01482 226570](tel:+441482226570) [info@sps-security.com](mailto:info@sps-security.com) [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Neptune+House+Neptune+Street+Hull+HU3+2BP) ### SPS Security — Grimsby Office Europarc Innovation Centre, Innovation Way, Grimsby DN37 9TT [01472 660047](tel:+441472660047) [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Europarc+Innovation+Centre+Innovation+Way+Grimsby+DN37+9TT) ### SPS Security — Lincoln Office Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS [01522 370032](tel:+441522370032) [info@sps-security.com](mailto:info@sps-security.com) [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Brayford+Pool+Lincoln+LN6+7TS) ## Tools for Education businesses [ Local Risk Snapshot Get a free crime and risk report for your area ](/tools/local-risk-snapshot)[ Rapid Security Check See how your current security measures up in minutes ](/tools/rapid-security-check)[ Hybrid Security Review Review your mix of guarding, technology and patrol cover ](/tools/hybrid-security-review)[ Business Security Procedure Builder Generate tailored security procedures for your site ](/tools/business-security-procedure-builder) ## Common questions about Education security Do your officers have experience working in schools or on university campuses?
