What is AlertED?
Lockdown alert / alarm app for schools and child settings
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.
