EBFP is an award-winning fire, security and life-safety specialist supporting schools, academies, colleges and multi-site education trusts with practical, proportionate and joined-up solutions.
At this year’s Education Forum, our focus is not simply on individual systems or products. We want to help education leaders look at the bigger picture: how fire safety, security, access control, lockdown, invacuation, emergency communication, safeguarding and day-to-day operational procedures work together to protect staff, students, visitors and premises.
A key part of that conversation is Martyn’s Law preparedness. We believe this should be approached as part of a wider life-safety strategy, rather than treated as a reason to purchase a standalone “Martyn’s Law system”. Every education environment is different, and the right solution starts with understanding what is already in place, how existing systems are being used and whether current procedures would work effectively in a real emergency.
That is why EBFP has developed its Education Life Safety Review.
Our review examines existing fire and security systems, policies, procedures, lockdown and invacuation arrangements, access control, CCTV, emergency communication and wider site preparedness. It combines the technical experience of our fire and security specialists with the insight of a recently retired London Headteacher, bringing together compliance, engineering expertise and a practical understanding of how schools operate every day.
Our approach is simple:
We look at what you already have first.
Where existing systems and procedures are suitable, we will say so. Where genuine gaps are identified, we explain them clearly and recommend practical, proportionate improvements based on need and risk.
There is no hard sell, no unnecessary hardware or software and no one-size-fits-all solution.
Alongside our Education Life Safety Reviews, EBFP provides a comprehensive range of services including fire detection and alarm systems, planned servicing and maintenance, fault finding and remedial works, CCTV, intruder alarms, access control, door entry, lockdown and invacuation systems, emergency communication, disabled refuge and EVC systems, voice alarm/PAVA, smoke control and AOV systems, Fire Risk Assessments and wider life-safety support.
As an independent specialist, EBFP combines personal service, responsiveness and accountability with the accredited expertise, technical capability and resources to support both individual education sites and complex multi-site estates. Our clients benefit from direct access to people who understand their priorities, take ownership and remain accountable from the first conversation through to completion.
We are also committed to delivering wider value through training, skills development, responsible procurement, local employment opportunities and long-term partnerships with the organisations and communities we serve.
