About

Here at Schools Alert we have developed a fantastic app that provides parents with the necessary reassurance they need for their child to commute from home to school and back safely. We have multiple functionality in the form of schedules for schools and also setting up unique visits for your child. Our new tethering tools is innovative that it allows parents to set a maximum distance that the child can be away from the parent. We have included a special SOS function on the child's app that can be triggered in an emergency. The parent will get a phone call or sent an SOS alert.

We believe that technology advances our society, allowing for innovative ideas that benefit our lives. Our Schools Alert app is unique in that it allows parents to stay in control of their child's safety at the same time allowing for the child to live their life in the very freedom we all enjoy. Our app came into being through numerous conversations with parents about how technology can bring this into play, and after months of consultations with parents and development – we have a product that you demanded.

Schools Alert is a child monitoring app which lets you see that your child has safely reached school or safely returned home at the end of the school day. If you're a working parent and cannot be there to see them off or collect them from the school gates, then the Schools Alert app is one way to feel assured of your child's wellbeing. In addition, parents have the option to schedule visits for their children, visits at any time of the day including weekends. This feature allows parents to set-up visits to friends, shopping or simply going to visit their grandparents. The visit function allows unlimited visits for the child all year!

We have also introduced a tethering tool within the app that the parents can use, it works by the parent inputting a maximum distance a child can be away from their parent, if the child breaches that distance the parent gets an alert. Going to a shopping complex can now be straight forward without the parent having the child shop along! This feature is also useful if the child is just going down the road to a mates house, input the maximum distance a child should be away from the parent and sit back and relax, our advanced geo-location software will do the rest.

Parents

What is Schools Alert and why is it unique?

Deciding to let your child walk themselves to and from school can be a daunting prospect for many parents. If you're a working parent and cannot be there to oversee the school run, letting them make their own way to school and back may leave you feeling anxious, with understandable child safety concerns. That's why we created Schools Alert, an app designed for parental peace of mind. Setup visits for your child and also use our unique tethering function.

How does it work?

The Schools Alert app is beautiful for its simplicity. Parent and child both download the app to their Android or iOS operated smartphone, and the two accounts are linked by the parents using their child's mobile number. The app will then pull down all the information their parent has entered. The child will only be able to see two things - their profile name, schedule for the day, and a chat function which puts them in direct contact with one or more of their parents. The primary parent can also invite the second parent or guardian.

Parents, on the other hand, don't get bombarded with constant alerts for their children. An alert is only generated if the child misses a pre-set schedule time to home or school. Parents are able to input term dates and defined time periods when their child should reach school and arrive home, meaning children aren't monitored at evenings, weekends or out of term time unless a parent uses the visit or tethering tools. A live child update can tell them at a glance where their children are, feeding back time-stamped information and real time alerts when there has been a breach of their schedule during school time.

The Schools Alert app is available on both Android and iOS operated devices. When you download the app, you will have multiple options to choose from, for parents that want a monthly subscription plan for their child, we are also offering a one-year subscription to the service which is paid for at the point of download. At the end of that period, you can choose to renew it.

Once you and your child have downloaded the app to your smartphones, your child’s phone can be linked to yours through their mobile number. You will then be able to set things such as term dates and the time parameters within which you expect your child to arrive at school or back home. As parents, you will also have the ability to set the geo-location of your home/school or any other place your child will visit, these will then be stored for convenience.

Your child's phone will then be unobtrusively monitored with advanced geolocation software and will issue updates and alerts straight to you. Whether you're a few miles away or on the other side of the world, you get the peace of mind which comes with knowing your child is safe.

Since their movements aren't monitored when there is no school or visit in operation, they get to maintain their independence and develop their sense of responsibility.

Your Schools Alert app offers a subscription based model that allows you to stay in control, we operate a yearly subscription or a monthly plan for each child, not only that, our app is designed to fit around your life…providing the reassurance you need as a parent!
