Safeguarding-Trained Security Guards for Schools, Colleges and Nurseries
Working in a school environment demands far more than a standard security licence. Every security officer deployed by 24 Nationwide in Middlewich, Cheshire undergoes a thorough Disclosure and Barring Service check before being placed in any educational setting, ensuring that only individuals with an impeccable record are permitted to work alongside children and young people. Beyond DBS clearance, our officers receive Enhanced Child Protection Training, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to recognise signs of abuse, respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns, and support the overall welfare of students. Our team is trained in safeguarding procedures in line with current statutory guidance, including Keeping Children Safe in Education. We take our duty of care seriously, and our officers understand that in a school setting, every interaction with a student must be handled with sensitivity, professionalism, and respect. By placing child-protection-trained, DBS-cleared officers on your site, 24 Nationwide ensures that your safeguarding obligations are upheld at every level of your security operation.
