Help for every classroom, without leaving the class.
In a primary school, the adult who needs help is often the only adult in the room. teamSOS lets them call for support in one tap, from a desktop, tablet, phone or a button on a lanyard, and see who's coming.
- Extra adult needed Sent
- First aid needed
- Child missing SOS
- Unknown adult on site SOS
- Behaviour support
Made for small teams with a lot to hold.
When the head is teaching and the office is busy, help can't depend on a phone call or a child sent with a message.
Straight to whoever can help
Calls go directly to the right adults, with no one in the office relaying them, and the person asking sees who's on the way.
Every adult included
Teachers, teaching assistants, midday supervisors and office staff, on the devices they already use or a smart button.
Calm for children
Silent alerts and no radios, so pupils aren't alarmed and no names are broadcast around the school.
Lockdowns without frightening children.
Leaders lock down the site in one tap. Announcements reach every adult silently, and on classroom screens the instructions stay hidden until an adult chooses to reveal them.
One-tap lockdown
Any adult can raise the alarm, and leaders can lock down the whole site straight away.
Press to View
On classroom screens, instructions stay hidden until an adult chooses to reveal them.
Silent to the room
Announcements reach staff devices without a sound, so children stay calm.
Live OK / NOT OK
Staff reply in one tap, so leaders know every class is safe.

A primary school that replaced its radios
How a two-form entry primary in West Sussex moved its on-call from radios to teamSOS, sped up response times and improved staff and pupil wellbeing.
teamSOS has the ability to be a messaging, crisis management, first aid response service. We use it for all of those things. We'd never go back to radios now!

Frequently asked questions.
Our school has a no mobile phone policy. Can teamSOS work around that?
Yes. Staff can call for help from a desktop, laptop or tablet, or with a smart panic button on a lanyard or a bunch of keys. Responders who are away from their desks, usually leaders and site staff, receive the call on a phone or tablet.
How does teamSOS compare to a walkie-talkie?
Every member of staff gets walkie-talkie style push-to-talk, but a message only reaches the staff in that incident, and every voice note stays in the feed to replay. There are no handsets to charge or lose. See how it replaces radios.
We use Teams or Google for this. What's different about teamSOS?
teamSOS is built by the founders of Groupcall and ParentPay, specifically for how schools respond to incidents. It sits above everyday email and chat, sends each incident type to the right people, and gives staff task lists and first-aid videos so the right steps are followed until help arrives.
We use WhatsApp. Why shouldn't we carry on?
WhatsApp's own terms say it isn't a professional communication tool. Using it for school business makes it hard to comply with UK GDPR, because you have no control over the data. With teamSOS your data is protected, and you can remove access the moment someone leaves.
Does it work for lone workers?
Yes. The app and a smart button suit site staff working out of hours and anyone visiting families, so help is always within reach.
