Education
Risk & reputation management
PHAROS RESPONSE has considerable knowledge and experience of the education sector and provides tailored services specifically to suit independent, maintained and international schools, academies and multi academy trusts (MATs), as well as nurseries, colleges and universities.
Our Experience
The PHAROS team is made up of highly experienced crisis management experts who have managed many critical incidents over many years, usually involving young people. We have supported educational establishments of all kinds through their darkest days, navigating headteachers and principals through critical incidents and crises that no school should have to face, but sadly many do.
Our experience of supporting so many serious incidents on a regular basis helps us to sharpen risk assessments and educational visits guidance to reduce the likelihood of incidents involving schools. It also provides a unique platform from which we can help schools’ and colleges’ crisis management teams to prepare their own critical incident management response.
