Safeguarding students on and off campus

Flare for Schools

A safeguarding solution built for schools.

Schools play a pivotal role in shaping young minds during the critical 11-18 age range. With mobile phone use often discouraged during the school day, safeguarding leaders face a unique challenge: how to ensure students are supported and protected while balancing the need for digital boundaries.

Flare addresses this challenge with a two-pronged approach:

  1. On Personal Devices: Protect students during their commute and outside of school hours with the app on personal devices.
  2. On School-Managed Devices: Equip school-managed iPads with the app, allowing students to access welfare resources and incident reporting tools during the school day.

This dual strategy ensures comprehensive, wrap-around safeguarding for every student, no matter where they are.

Flare provides a wrap-around, robust solution for safeguarding pupils.

1

Supporting Students During Their Commute

Mobile phones are invaluable for safeguarding students on their way to and from school. With live location sharing, safety alerts, and panic alarms, students can confidently navigate their commute knowing help is only a tap away.

2

Accessible Resources During the School Day

By integrating Flare into school-managed iPads, students can access key welfare tools—like mental health resources and incident reporting—without violating phone-use policies, keeping safeguarding a priority throughout the day.

3

Building Trust with Parents and Guardians

A branded app showcases your school’s commitment to student safety, reassuring parents and guardians that their children are protected on and off school grounds.

4

Encouraging Proactive Incident Reporting

Students can report bullying, harassment, or safety hazards easily and discreetly through the app, fostering a safer and more inclusive school environment.

5

Providing Wrap-Around Safeguarding

Flare helps colleges meet safeguarding and compliance obligations by streamlining safety processes, providing detailed analytics, and ensuring your institution is always ready for inspections.
