Security Case Study: Enhancing Security at Walford College

Security Case Study: Enhancing Security at Walford College

Client Overview

Our security case study is about Walford College, a leading educational institution, is committed to ensuring the safety and security of its staff, students, and facilities. The college’s expansive campus features eight buildings and serves as a hub for education and training in diverse fields.

As part of the Herefordshire, Ludlow, and North Shropshire College group, which comprises five colleges across Herefordshire and North Shropshire, Walford College offers a range of state-of-the-art facilities. These include a training farm specializing in arable, dairy, beef, and sheep farming, equestrian and animal care centres, motor vehicle workshops, and more. The college’s facilities reflect its dedication to providing hands-on, practical learning experiences for its students.

The Challenge

The existing intruder alarm systems at Walford College were outdated, so the college needed a comprehensive upgrade that would:

1. Ensure consistent security across all buildings.

2. Meet the latest compliance standards.

3. Be implemented with minimal disruption to daily operations.

Our Solution

Security Wise worked closely with Walford College to design and implement a tailored security upgrade plan. Over a month, we replaced the old systems with up-to-date intruder alarms for all eight buildings.

Key features of the project included:

Customised Solutions: Each building received a system tailored to its specific layout and security needs.

Advanced Technology: Modern alarms with enhanced features such as remote monitoring, motion detection, and integration with existing security systems.

Compliance with Standards: All systems were installed to meet NSI Gold standards, ensuring they adhered to the highest industry regulations.

Phased Installation: The upgrade was carried out in phases to minimise disruption to the college’s operations.

The Outcome

The updated intruder alarm systems have transformed security at Walford College, providing:

• Comprehensive protection across all eight buildings.
• Peace of mind for staff, students, and management.
• Improved compliance with insurance and regulatory requirements.
• A scalable solution that can be expanded as the college grows.
