What is AlertED?

Lockdown alert / alarm app for schools and child settings

AlertED is a lockdown alert app built specifically for schools, nurseries, and other child-focused settings. It allows any authorised staff member to trigger a full-site lockdown alert instantly from their own iOS or Android device — no additional hardware, wiring, or installation required. When a lockdown alert is triggered, every linked device sounds an alarm immediately, including devices set to silent or Do Not Disturb, using critical alert functionality. Staff can then confirm their room is secured directly within the app, giving your school a clear, timestamped record of how quickly every area locked down.

Why Choose AlertED?

Traditional lockdown alarm systems often require expensive, disruptive installation — sometimes running into tens of thousands of pounds — and can take weeks to deploy. AlertED removes that barrier. Because it runs on devices your staff already carry, a school can be fully set up and ready to trigger lockdown alerts within minutes of creating an account.

 

Every staff member can be given the ability to trigger a lockdown from anywhere on site — not just from a central point — meaning the alert reaches every room and every device the moment it’s needed, regardless of where the incident starts.

Who is AlertED for?

AlertED was created by parents, school governors, and safeguarding professionals who understand both the responsibility school staff carry to protect children, and the real-world budget and time pressures schools face. Existing lockdown solutions are often too complex, too expensive, or too slow to activate in the moment that matters most. AlertED is designed to support compliance with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance, and to give school leaders the reporting data they need to demonstrate lockdown readiness to OFSTED — without demanding a specialist budget or IT team to run it. While built for schools and nurseries, AlertED can be used in any setting where fast, coordinated alerting matters.
