The school walkie-talkie, reimagined.
teamSOS gives every member of staff a private, instant line to the right responders, on the devices they already use. Nothing is broadcast for pupils to hear, and every word is kept on record.
Everything a radio can't do.
Radios were never designed for schools. Squawks carry across classrooms, messages vanish the moment they're spoken, and only a few staff ever have a handset.
All the speed of a radio, none of the broadcast.
Inside every incident sits an orange walkie-talkie button. Staff press and hold it to talk live to everyone responding, then let go. Only the staff in that incident hear it.
Powerful tools in every member of staff's hands.
Call for help in two taps
Any member of staff opens a private, two-way channel with the right responders, who get an instant brief on who needs help and where.
On every device
Phones, tablets, laptops and desktops, plus a smart button on a lanyard. Everyone can call for help, not just the few with a handset.
Many incidents at once
Each incident gets its own channel, so a playground first aid call never talks over a behaviour incident in science.
Evidence without the write-up
Messages, voice notes and timings are captured as they happen, and records flow into CPOMS and MyConcern without double entry.
A live view for leaders
Leaders see what's happening across the site in real time, and can step in with advice or support from wherever they are.
Patterns you can act on
Reports show trends over time, so you can reduce how often incidents happen, not just respond to them faster.
Why schools don't go back to radios.
We wouldn't go back to walkie talkies. We've got them in case we lose the Wi-Fi, but that's only because 4G is bad in this area, and that happens once or twice a year, tops! Even if you go back to the red card for the office, the response time will always be far slower than teamSOS.
The rapid incident response and resolution using teamSOS and the better privacy it allowed has had a real impact on reducing disruption in the classroom. It has also created time for our on-call staff to circulate classes and talk to students, something they couldn't do when they were using radios because of indiscriminate broadcasting.
Our pastoral officers are much more efficient now. Before, they'd use a radio, write things on a clipboard, then go back to their desk to log it all. Now, it's all done from their iPad straight into teamSOS and onto our behaviour system. It's seamless, and it's significantly reduced workload.
See the impact for yourself. Schools share how moving on from radios cut wasted on-call time and freed up staff.
