Safety and Security Support For International Schools
AI Schools works with international schools across the Middle East and Asia to help them prepare for, manage and recover from serious incidents. We are experienced in supporting UK schools and apply it with a clear understanding of the settings, regulations and expectations that international schools work within.
Why international schools come to us
Many international schools have strong safeguarding cultures but less formal structure around crisis response and site security. Plans may have been written some time ago, adapted from another school, or held by one or two key people. When leadership teams change, that knowledge can leave with them.
​
We help you build arrangements that are clear, practical and owned by your whole school. That means your staff know what to do, your leaders can make confident decisions under pressure and your governors and parents can see that safety is taken seriously.
Our Services
Crisis Management
​
We help your leadership team plan for the incidents that could disrupt your school, from medical emergencies and severe weather to intruders, unrest and threats made online. We work with you to set out clear roles, decision-making routes and communication plans and we can run scenario exercises so your team can practise in a safe setting.
Critical Incident Support
When something serious happens, you should not have to face it alone. We provide experienced support to senior leaders during and after a critical incident, helping you manage the immediate response, communicate with staff, families and authorities and plan the recovery.
Site Security
​
We review your site, your entry and exit points, your visitor procedures and your arrangements for lockdown and evacuation. You receive a clear, prioritised report with practical recommendations that suit your buildings, your budget and your local environment.
Writing and Review of Procedures
We write new procedures or review your existing ones so they are accurate, usable and aligned with your local regulatory requirements and any accreditation or inspection framework you work within. Every document is written in plain language so that staff from any background can follow it quickly.
