Summary:

There are currently 4.3 million CCTV cameras in the UK. But how do schools use them, what other security measures do they routinely use, and who do they work with to put them in place? Rod Morgan, former chair of the Youth Justice Board, gives his insight on how different aspects of security affect the running of a school. Brian Lightman, President of the ASCL, explains what teachers and heads think about the different uses of security on school premises. We also talk to Hamish Chalmers, the MD of Safe School Technologies, about the sorts of security systems schools are using and where the culture of securing schools is likely to go in the future. But not everyone is in favour of these security measures, and Terri Dowty of Action on Rights for Children suggests that perhaps children should not be watched to such a great extent, and the fact that they have become used to being watched raises concerns about the increasing levels of surveillance in our schools.
