We’re excited to announce that Lisa Broad, a seasoned expert in counter-terrorism and emergency response, will be partnering with Elementary Technology as an independent consultant. With over 22 years of Whitehall experience, Lisa’s deep knowledge of counter-terrorism, serious organised crime, and school safety protocols makes her the perfect fit to guide us in all things related to lockdowns.

At Elementary Technology, we’re committed to helping schools create secure environments where students can thrive. This includes offering top-tier technology designed to support lockdown procedures, as well as providing clear, actionable information on best practices for lockdown policies. Lisa’s experience leading the Department for Education’s Counter-Terrorism Protect, Prepare and Security Team means she has unparalleled insights into how schools, colleges, and universities can best prepare for emergencies without causing unnecessary alarm.

Whether it’s the lockdown systems we provide or the content we deliver to help schools stay informed, Lisa will play a critical role in shaping our approach. Her expertise ensures that we stay at the forefront of lockdown preparedness, not just through technology, but also by providing schools with clear and practical guidance.

Lisa’s dual role as both a policy leader and Chair of Governors at her local school gives her a unique understanding of the challenges schools face when implementing safety measures. By working with Elementary Technology, she will help us continue to empower schools with the tools and knowledge they need to maintain safe and supportive learning environments.
