School prom safety: 5 steps to keeping teens safe

As one of the highlights of the school calendar for students, prom night is an opportunity for pupils to dress up, celebrate their friendships and achievements, and create memories that will last a lifetime. But the mix of large crowds and excited teens means it’s essential to ensure the evening is both safe and fun for everyone.

As a school, you’re responsible for ensuring the safety of students when they are on school premises or attending events, such as the school prom. One of the best ways to ensure your school’s prom goes off without a hitch is to work with a security company like Stonewall Security.

Doing so gives parents peace of mind that their child will be safe and that the event will be safe and secure. Let’s take a look at five steps we can help you take to keep teens safe at their prom.

1. Place security guards on the door

At Stonewall Security, we can provide trained and experienced security guards to man the doors at your prom to ensure no unauthorised access. Our door supervisors will ensure that no dangerous items enter the prom and that only authorised students attend the prom.

They also help set a calm, respectful tone from the moment guests arrive, offering reassurance to staff, students and parents while remaining professional, approachable and alert throughout the evening.

2. Parking security services 

On prom night, it’s tradition to arrive in a special car; these are often sports cars, limousines or classic cars. While these only tend to drop off and pick up students, our team can help ensure traffic keeps moving and can oversee drop-offs to avoid bottlenecks.

We can also monitor car parks and surrounding areas to deter anti-social behaviour, prevent accidents and ensure students can arrive and leave safely, giving parents and staff greater peace of mind. 

3. Mobile security patrol  

Mitigate the risks of underage drinking, loitering in the grounds or unauthorised guests being on the premises with our mobile security patrol services. Our mobile officers will patrol the grounds of your venue to ensure students aren’t where they shouldn’t be or doing things they shouldn’t be doing.

They can also respond quickly to any issues as they arise, support staff with supervision and help maintain a positive, respectful atmosphere throughout the evening.

4. Use CCTV to monitor all areas 

CCTV can help you monitor all areas of your venue, including hard-to-see areas, entry and exit points and corridors. At Stonewall Security, our team can help you create a bespoke CCTV solution for your school prom and can carry out surveillance and address any issues on the night. 

We’ll ensure cameras are placed in the most effective positions, provide real-time monitoring and work alongside security staff to respond quickly and appropriately to any suspicious activity.

5. Lock and unlock

Consider using a security company to help with lock and unlocking services at your school prom. At Stonewall Security, we can provide officers to open your venue at a pre-arranged time, inspect the building’s security and support staff arrivals to ensure everything is set up safely and on time.

Our team can also monitor early activity, respond to any unexpected issues and lock the venue securely once the prom has ended. It’s a simple way to take the pressure off school staff and ensure the venue is safe from start to finish.
