See security management at schools to learn about security audits, using security consultants, and creating a risk management plan and policy.
Funding the recommendations from a Ministry-funded security audit
If you get a Ministry-funded security audit done, you may be eligible for a 5 Year Agreement (5YA) budget top-up for half the cost of the security improvements. In this case:
- your minimum contribution (from your 5YA budget) will be 10% of your 5YA budget
- your maximum contribution will be 50% of your 5YA budget.
If you act on the recommendations of a security audit, we see this as necessary health and safety work. Therefore, you can get Budget Plus funding for this work if your 5YA funding is insufficient.
Use our security top-up funding calculator to work out your 5YA top-up eligibility.
Use your 5YA funding to pay for a security system that is not coming from a Ministry-funded audit recommendation. (You will not be eligible for the top-up in this case.)
