Lockdown Now

Send all-staff, unmissable alerts.

Whether it’s an evacuation, invacuation or lockdown, leaders rapidly send a pre-set Announcement that takes over every device on site, full-screen, unmuted, even when screens are locked.

URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT LOCKDOWN NOW. INTRUDER ON-SITE.

  • Report any urgent feedback via NOT OK
Do not open doors or leave unless instructed by SLT or emergency services.

NOT OKOK

The alert lands with a neutral title, so nothing alarming shows on a screen a pupil or visitor might see. Staff press to reveal the full instruction, then acknowledge with OK or NOT OK.

Marked safe, fed back to SLT

Who’s safe. Who needs help. In real time.

Every staff member replies with one tap. Leadership watch the picture build across the whole site as it happens.

NOT OK prompts for a reason, so SLT know whether it’s a missing child, an intruder sighting or a blocked exit, and can send help exactly where it’s needed.

teamSOS alerts on multiple devices, so whether a member of staff is out in the field with a mobile or at their desk, the message gets seen very quickly. Really effective. We’ve written it into our lockdown policy. There are schools and trusts up and down the country facing the challenge of managing live incidents and not even realising this is the solution they need. teamSOS is it.
