Smart School Safety & Security is a unique solution developed in Finnish schools for real-time crisis communication, production and management of emergency plans, safety trainings as well as alarm signaling in crisis situations.

Mobile Alarm

The service speeds up alarm signaling significantly, as any member of the staff can signal an alarm with a single touch of a button on their own mobile devices regardless of time or location. The alarm sends a voice alarm to the mobile application downloaded by students and staff, while displaying a flashing screen with the message “Alarm – move to safety channel”. Likewise, calls to public-safety answering points (PSAP) as well as posting initial procedures and instructions on the service´s secured safety channel can be done with just a single touch of a button.

Crisis Communication

The Safety Channel is a password-protected, real-time mobile communication channel, onto which content is updated in real-time through staff´s own mobile devices. The safety channel also gives the emergency response teams and police real-time target information while they´re on their way to the objective. All necessary information on the objective, including pictures and 360-videos, can be found on the channel.

Safety Plan & Training

The Smart School Safety & Security –system includes a safety plan template developed in Finnish schools as a workbook-based online course, which schools can utilize to build a highly-varied safety training material localized for the individual school. The finished safety course follows the Social Micro Learning principle and is thus easily consumed with the staff´s own mobile devices, regardless of time and place. Certificates are awarded upon successful completion, which can be used to demonstrate the safety know-how of the school staff.
