School and Campus Safety and Emergency Management

Schools, colleges and university campuses across Africa face intrusions, gang activity, protests and the everyday challenge of controlling large numbers of learners during an emergency. This course equips education managers and campus security teams to assess site vulnerabilities, run lockdown and evacuation drills and coordinate with parents, police and emergency services. The focus is practical routines that protect learners and staff without turning campuses into fortresses.
