Frequently asked questions

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 lone worker safety measures benefit teachers?

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. This removes uncertainty and helps in resolving disputes that may arise from "He-Said, She-Said" scenarios. Additionally, these safety devices provide a sense of security and peace of mind for educators working in potentially risky environments.
