Alert Solutions for Primary Schools

Making schools a safer place

For a UK school, a lockdown alert system plays a reassuring role in day to day safeguarding. If an incident occurs on or near the school site, staff need a simple and immediate way to communicate that keeps routines calm and consistent. National guidance from the Department for Education supports the use of clear lockdown procedures that set themselves apart from your fire alarms, an alert system ensures those procedures can be activated without delay.

A single, recognisable alert allows staff to act quickly and protect pupils without causing a panic. For parents and carers, it provides confidence that the school is prepared and that safeguarding has been carefully considered, supporting a safe and settled environment where children can focus on learning.

Your Lockdown Alert Solution

LOCAS (or lockdown alert system,) is a fully wireless alert system with a library of sounds that can be easily distinguished from each other, allowing you to set dedicated sounds for each alert. Effective training for staff with this solution will mean a smoother and safer lockdown procedure for your school.

LOCAS can also be operated silently for schools where loud noise would be counter-productive for a calm and orderly response. Making it a great choice for younger age groups or SEND environments.
