"Our aim is to ensure our staff get home safe. The SoloProtect device helps us do that."
"The ID device was a great choice for us as many of our colleagues already carry ID cards, but we’re now trialling a range of other SoloProtect devices too..."
"The ID device is easy to wear, simple to use, and looks like something that an engineer might be wearing anyway, meaning clients are unlikely to question its purpose."
What is lone worker security for teachers, and why is it important?
Lone Worker Security for Teachers refers to safety measures and devices designed to protect educators and school staff who often work alone and face unique risks, including verbal and physical abuse and potential violence. It is crucial because workplace violence and incidents within the education sector have been on the rise. Teachers need protection against threats from students, environmental emergencies, and other hazards they may encounter while working alone.
How can we keep teachers safe in schools?
Deploying lone worker technology can help to keep UK teachers safe. A SoloProtect lone worker device gives a teacher a means to discreetly call for help in an emergency at the push of a Red Alert button – without needing to call 999 that could potentially aggravate a situation.
This opens a call with our Monitoring Centre where operators will listen in to the incident, establish the severity and then send an appropriate response. This could be alerting the police, ambulance service, or school security, for example.
How can teachers be protected from violence?
SoloProtect ID Touch is an extremely discreet safety device that’s designed to be easy to wear on a teacher’s existing lanyard or belt clip, and the device will capture the audio of an incident when a Red Alert is raised.
This audio evidence of the violence and/ or abuse can then be requested by the school following a genuine incident. This removes the element of subjective argument or selective reporting, offering protection to both the teacher and pupil.
