OIT-Emergency-Alerts

Compliance

Built with Martyn's Law in mind

Martyn's Law (the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) requires qualifying premises to prepare for a terrorist attack. Schools with a capacity of 200-799 fall in the Standard tier.

Notify and name a responsible person

The school registers with the regulator and appoints someone accountable. Every broadcast here is tied to a named, signed-in admin and timestamped.

Public protection procedures

Evacuation, invacuation (bringing people inside), lockdown and communication — these map directly to the alert presets sent to classroom screens and desktop agents.

Tell people quickly, then evidence it

Standard tier needs procedures and awareness, not building works. One broadcast reaches every screen and computer, and Acknowledge / Clear / Need help responses land in an automatic report.

Summary only — not legal advice. Read the Martyn's Law for education settings for the full duties.

School safety alerts

One alert. Every screen on site.

Compose a clear, high-visibility alert once and take over classroom displays and school computers — then clear it just as quickly and get a full response report.

Delivery channels

Classroom screens

Any TV, projector or kiosk browser becomes a bright, fullscreen alert display in seconds.

Installed agents

The desktop agent takes over school computers instantly, with siren, banner and panic hotkey.

Admin console

Verified admins broadcast by site, group, subgroup or location and watch responses land live.

Only verified staff can broadcast

Every alert is tied to a signed-in admin account and logged with a timestamp.
