Minor Works Applications relating to any aspect of security needs at an educational establishment requires a security survey and risk assessment to be completed and submitted to the Department of Education - Building Branch.
A security survey gives a rounded picture of the risks that a school faces and the security measures in existence. Without this information it is difficult to assess
- the type and scale of risk
- any trends or patterns in the incidents occurring at the school
- the selection of security measures
- the efficiency of the chosen security measure
Put simply, a risk assessment is finding out what could cause harm to people and deciding if you have done enough or need to do more to protect them.
