Ensure your school is prepared with a system that delivers instant alerts, seamless integration, customisable lockdown procedures, and full regulatory compliance—all while being easy to use.
When selecting a school lockdown system, it’s essential to ensure it meets safety, efficiency, and compliance needs. Here are the top five features to look for:
A good system should provide instant alerts across multiple communication channels, including tannoy announcements, visual signals, text messages, and app notifications. This ensures that staff and students receive real-time information during an emergency.
The lockdown system should integrate with your school’s PA system, fire alarms, access control, and CCTV for a coordinated response. This enhances security and minimizes confusion during an emergency.
Every school has unique needs. A strong system should allow custom lockdown scenarios, whether it’s a full lockdown, partial lockdown, or shelter-in-place procedure. This flexibility ensures the right response for different threats.
With evolving safety laws, your lockdown system must align with Ofsted safeguarding requirements and potential upcoming laws like Martyn’s Law. This ensures that your school remains compliant while prioritising the safety of students and staff.
A system is only effective if staff can use it confidently. Look for a solution with simple activation methods (e.g., panic buttons or mobile app controls) and comprehensive staff training to ensure a swift and efficient response during a crisis.
