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.

Lone worker safety measures, such as the SoloProtect ID Touch or SoloProtect Mobile app, offer several benefits to teachers. They enable teachers to raise alerts in case of an incident, which can trigger audio recording to accurately document the situation.
