SEND and special schools

Calm, discreet help in every SEND classroom.

When a pupil needs support, staff bring in the right help in one tap, without leaving their side, raising their voice or unsettling the class.

Built for special schools

Built around how special schools actually run.

High staff ratios, teams spread across the site and pupils who need calm around them. teamSOS reaches every adult who can help, instantly, without alarming the children.

01

Every adult connected

Class teams, teaching assistants, therapists and on-call staff, all on the phones, tablets and desktops they already use.

02

Wherever the day takes them

Classrooms, sensory rooms, outdoor spaces and off-site visits. Help reaches staff wherever they are working.

03

Nothing to unsettle pupils

No crackling radios, no names read out, no alarms. Just a quiet alert to the people who need to know.

Call for help

Help comes to you. You stay with the pupil.

Staff raise an incident in one tap from a phone, tablet, desktop or smart button. teamSOS sends it straight to the class team, then brings in on-call staff and SLT if no one picks it up.

  • See who's coming the moment they reply
  • Message back and forth while you wait
  • Every call time-stamped as it happens
Smart buttons

When reaching for a phone isn't an option.

Supporting a pupil up close often means both hands are busy. A teamSOS smart button clips to a lanyard or clothing, so staff can call for help with a press.

Single click
Quick checkConfirms the button is connected and in range.
Double click
Call for helpRaises the incident you choose, such as dysregulation support.
Press and hold
Personal alertSends an in-case-of-emergency alert to the wearer's chosen contact.

Link a button to a member of staff, a room or an individual pupil for medical or behaviour alerts, so every call says exactly who and where.

Each action can be set up to suit your school. Buttons connect over Bluetooth to staff phones and tablets, with hubs to extend range across larger sites.

Quiet by design

Every adult told. No child alarmed.

From a lockdown to a change of plan, announcements can go out silently, to staff devices only. No sirens or tannoys, and nothing on show for pupils to hear or see.

Silent announcements

Send an announcement silently, so it reaches every adult without a sound in the room.

Press to View

On classroom screens, instructions stay hidden until an adult chooses to reveal them.

Staff devices only

Phones, tablets and desktops. Never sirens or tannoys that unsettle pupils who find noise and change hard.

Live OK / NOT OK

Staff reply in one tap, so leaders can see who is safe and send support where it's needed.

Start to finish

The right steps in the moment. A clear record after.

Procedures on screen

Your own procedure, on screen.

Each incident brings up your school's own procedure, so staff respond calmly and consistently under pressure, and leaders can see what's been done.

Recorded for you

The record writes itself.

Every incident is time-stamped and written back to the systems you already use, giving you a clear record for reviews, governors and parents, and the patterns behind it.

From schools using teamSOS

Faster, calmer and far more discreet.

Before teamSOS, a teacher in need would email the office, who'd radio the responder. It was slow, and students could overhear what was being said over the radio. Now, everything's handled discreetly - it's faster, calmer, and far more professional.

Carrie BloomfieldPastoral Officer, Sybil Andrews Academy

Since bringing teamSOS into our school I feel we have been able to reassure staff when things are challenging in their class. There are people available to respond, the response is proportionate, and they recognise there are people to support them.

teamSOS has provided a very clear message to our staff that their safety matters. The app has sped up our on-call response time and is creating a safer learning environment at Heron Way.
