Noticeboards for Schools, Colleges & Universities
Durable, secure and fire resistant noticeboards designed to improve communication, engage students and support safeguarding and compliance across education environments.
Common challenges in education environments
Information isn't being seen
Important messages get missed and student engagement drops when displays are cluttered, dated or poorly placed.
Safeguarding concerns
Open displays can be tampered with or removed. Lockable boards keep approved safeguarding content secure and visible.
Compliance requirements
Corridors, stairwells and escape routes call for fire resistant materials under school fire safety guidance.
Displays look tired and dated
Worn out boards create a poor impression for students, staff, parents and visitors, including at inspection.
Safeguarding Noticeboards for Schools, Colleges & Universities
Safeguarding information should be visible, accessible and easy to understand. A dedicated safeguarding noticeboard helps students, staff and visitors quickly find support contacts, reporting routes and wellbeing resources.
Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)
Display photographs, names and contact details for safeguarding leads so pupils know who to approach for help.
Mental Health Support
Signpost counselling services, wellbeing teams, NHS resources and local support organisations.
Anti-Bullying Resources
Provide clear reporting routes and information about how bullying concerns are handled.
Online Safety
