Global Policing

What Global Policing does

Global Policing Limited is a UK-based private consultancy founded in May 2015 and headquartered in Bury, Greater Manchester, serving primarily schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) with a portfolio of compliance, training, and pupil-support services. The company's core offerings are Data Protection Officer (DPO) services at £1,600 per year, an all-inclusive online training package at £1,000 per year, hands-on Attendance Support at £5,000 per school per year, and Project Chameleon — a flagship 10-session crime and law education programme delivered by active and ex-serving police officers. Additional product lines include accredited First Aid Training (£150 per person) and Immersive First Aid Training delivered with actors, sound and lighting, plus a School Business Support bundling product. All first aid courses are accredited through a partnership with Nuco Training.

The technology stack is modest and conventional: a WordPress-based marketing website at globalpolicing.co.uk integrated with monday.com (for embedded SAR, breach, and audit intake forms), Brevo (transactional email), Tawk.to (live chat), and Complianz (cookie consent), alongside a separate training portal at training.globalpolicing.co.uk for course delivery. There is no proprietary SaaS platform; the underlying business is fundamentally a services and training consultancy rather than a technology product company.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual subscriptions (DPO, Training, Attendance Support) with a supplementary transactional stream from per-person first aid courses. Pricing is transparent and fixed-fee, ranging from £1,000 to £5,000 per school per year. The go-to-market is sales-led, concentrated in the UK education sector and anchored by CEO Shane Williams (ex-Head of Training at Greater Manchester Police), supplemented by a referral programme (£20 per referral / £200 credit on conversion) and speaking engagements at education events such as EdExecLive South West. Customer base is reported at 300+ organisations served since 2015, with no external institutional investment, M&A activity, or leadership transitions disclosed.

Emerging players

• TICCS: UK specialist training provider focused on childcare, education, and safeguarding courses. Comparable to Global Policing's certified training arm serving the same school buyer.
• Nuco Training: UK first-aid training accreditation body and course provider that already accredits Global Policing's first aid courses. Comparable as a first-aid training competitor and an adjacent channel partner.
• EdAware: UK provider of safeguarding and child protection training and consultancy for schools. Adjacent to Global Policing's Project Chameleon safeguarding and crime-education offering.

Direct peers

• Strictly Education: UK provider of HR, legal, and DPO services tailored to schools and academies. Overlaps with Global Policing's school-focused DPO and business support bundles.
• SchoolPro TLC: UK multi-service support provider for schools offering HR, training, DPO, and business support under bundled subscriptions. Directly comparable to Global Policing's school-services bundle and vertical go-to-market approach.
• EduCare: UK provider of online safeguarding, health & safety, and PSHE training courses to schools and MATs. Direct overlap with Global Policing's training portal and PSHE offerings.
• Data Protection People: UK outsourced DPO service provider offering named DPOs, SAR handling, and ICO breach support. Directly comparable to Global Policing's £1,600/year all-inclusive DPO subscription.

Broad incumbents

• St John Ambulance: UK's largest first aid training provider, delivering accredited courses to schools and workplaces nationwide. Competes with Global Policing's first aid business on credibility, scale, and price.
• British Red Cross: National first aid training provider with strong school-sector presence. Comparable to Global Policing's first aid course offerings and a potential competitor for the immersive-first-aid positioning.
• Citation: Large UK compliance and HR services firm providing DPO, HR, and training subscriptions to SMBs including schools. Overlaps with Global Policing's DPO and training packages but at much broader scale and across multiple verticals.
