Specialist Sectors
Specialist lockdown systems, designed for schools, colleges and public spaces
Ofsted now requires schools to demonstrate that a lockdown alert sound is distinctly different to a fire alarm. This is because one alert requires evacuation and the other to remain safely inside the building.
With Martyn's Law coming into effect, our team can deliver tailored solutions that prioritise the safety of your students and staff whilst remaining within budgets.
Why choose a school lockdown system?
Simple, hassle-free installation
Many of our school lockdown systems can be deployed rapidly, without the need for excessive cabling, building works or excessive disruption.
Designed to cover one, or multiple buildings
We'll visit you on-site to conduct a full survey of your premises, ensuring the systems we design are made to measure for your property.
Visually different to fire alarm devices
Our lockdown system designed to be unique, to ensure staff can quickly differentiate them from a fire alarm system or call point.
Preparing for Martyn's Law
What is Martyn's Law?
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, also known as Martyn's Law, introduces new legal duties for public venues and events, ensuring organisers and owners are prepared for, and capable of communicating and responding efficiently to terrorist threats.
When does it take affect?
As of the 3rd April 2025, the act (Martyn's Law) received Royal Assent. UK Government states there will be a minimum 24 month implementation period allowing organisations to prepare and plan ahead.

What you need to know:
Property owners must assess their premises, implement practical safety measures, and ensure staff are trained in lockdown and emergency procedures. During the two-year implementation period, venues can review and improve security plans before full legal duties come into effect.

Case Study
Primary School In Manchester
CIA were responsible for designing and installing a new school lockdown system for a primary school in Manchester.
We carried out a thorough survey of the site before sitting down with the operations manager. We walked them through what the best solution was for them. The operations manager at the primary school was impressed by the options available and the simplicity of the installation process.
