teamSOS is an on-call incident response app for schools and trusts, created by the founders of Groupcall and ParentPay. It comes in two editions: Lockdown for emergency response, and Enterprise for incident management across the whole school day, emergencies included.

The Lockdown edition means every staff member has a direct line to raise a critical concern with SLT. Leaders can lockdown, invacuate or evacuate in just a few taps, with unmissable Announcements that take over every staff device on site - hiding sensitive detail behind a press to view so nothing alarming shows to a pupil or visitor nearby. Leaders can see who is safe and who needs help with built-in staff responses, so support goes exactly where it is needed. The whole response is documented for you as it happens, which means a school can show it is ready to meet its duties under Martyn's Law without the extra paperwork.

Enterprise includes everything in Lockdown and adds everyday incident management for behaviour, medical and safeguarding. A member of staff taps Call for Help on any device - mobile, tablet, desktop, or a button on a lanyard - and the right team for that situation assembles itself, taking account of who is on call, with automatic escalation available if no one replies. Everyone responding lands in one live group with voice, location and messages in one place, while the school's own procedures appear inside the incident to guide staff through the correct steps. The record then writes itself as events unfold and writes back to your MIS and safeguarding systems, including SIMS, Bromcom, CPOMS and MyConcern, with nothing to re-key afterwards.

Whichever edition fits, teamSOS gives every member of staff a simple, reassuring way to get the right help to the right place in seconds, with no new hardware to buy. Visit our website to find out more or book a 20-minute demo.
