Further and higher education

Safe, supported and running, on every campus.

Colleges and universities are big, busy and spread out. teamSOS lets any member of staff call for help from wherever they are, alerts the right people at once and keeps leaders in the picture across every site.

Every corner of campus

One system for everything that happens on site.

From a first aid call in a workshop to a lockdown across the estate, the right people are alerted and everyone can see it's being handled.

Site safety and lockdowns

Report a concern from anywhere, and alert the whole campus from within the incident when it matters.

Student wellbeing

Mental and physical health concerns reach the right team quickly, so nothing falls through the gaps.

Safeguarding and Prevent

Concerns raised from any device, with a full timeline that uploads to CPOMS or MyConcern.

Staff and lone workers

Help one tap away on or off site, triaged straight to the staff on the rota.

Behaviour and attendance

Discreet calls for support, and alerts to the attendance team when a student is missing.

Business continuity

Keeps working if your network is down or a building is out of action.

Announcements

One message to every campus, in seconds.

When something affects everyone, announcements reach every member of staff on every site and sit above everyday emails and chats. On screens students can see, lockdown instructions stay hidden until staff choose to reveal them.

Every campus at once

Mass notifications from within an incident, so everyone is informed and instructed.

Press to View

On screens students can see, instructions stay hidden until staff reveal them.

Silent to the room

Announcements reach staff devices without a sound, so students stay calm.

Acknowledged, not just sent

See who has read an announcement, and follow up with anyone who hasn't.

Proof it works

Six campuses. One alert.

Case study · Activate Learning

From radios and call lists to one alert that reaches everyone

One of the country's largest college groups needed an alert that worked everywhere, from lecture theatres to a land-based campus with its own zoo. Now first aiders, on-call and senior staff are alerted together, not one after another.

You know if something's being handled or not. Everyone's looped in whilst something's being dealt with and addressed.

Real results, in their own words

Trusted on large, busy sites.

We needed a system where staff could get the message whether they sat at the computer or via an app on their phone while working outdoors. teamSOS seamlessly filled the gap.

Tyron BancroftGroup Head of Resilience and Statutory Compliance, Activate Learning

Transformational. There are schools and trusts up and down the country facing the challenge of managing incidents across large sites and potentially not even realising that's the solution they need. I think teamSOS is it.

David ReynoldsDeputy Head, Cannock Chase High School

teamSOS cuts out the middleman, so we don't need somebody coordinating responses because it's already prioritised. It's had a real impact on reducing disruption.
