A control on early education facility security that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Guard force performance on facility security reflects supervision, not instruction. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this part of corporate security practice that were visible long before the incident. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of early education facility security and supervised application. The programme takes participants through the wider corporate security practice agenda end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Improvement in facility security stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to early education facility security in an order their organisation can absorb. The programme works equally well for those formalising facility security for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the corporate security practice capability sustainable.
