School embroidered lanyards make it easy to identify school students and are an inexpensive way of increasing school security. In addition, students can wear their school ID around their neck at all times, ensuring that teachers and other support staff know who is supposed to be on school premises and who isn't.

Staff and teachers may wear different lanyards to help with identification, ensuring that new students know who they can ask for help. On parent's evening, staff lanyards will also make it easier for parents to identify the teachers. In addition, lanyards can be customised with ID card holders to keep security passes secure. Many schools now use keycard entry systems for lockers, out-of-hours access and more. With a lanyard, this keycard will always be safe and secure.

School lanyards help school staff identify students, especially if there are many people in school uniforms. Wearing school identification around the neck makes it easier for teachers and support staff to see which student is supposed to be at school and which isn't. Even if a lanyard doesn't have a name tag attached, it will help school staff keep track of who should be in school.

Custom school lanyards for each year group make it easier to enforce the uniform policy without asking students their year group. Wearing school lanyards outside of school also helps students act courteously to those around them, as they will be easier to identify when wearing a school-branded lanyard.

School lanyards are very safe when customised with the correct attachments. School lanyards should always include safety breakaway clasps to ensure there is no risk of the lanyard getting caught and causing injury to students.

When representing the school on school trips, athletic events and other excursions, school-branded lanyards will promote your school and encourage children to be on their best behaviour.
