Frequently asked questions
You can still send alerts. The Control app runs on mobile data, so you can trigger alerts from your mobile phone wherever you are.
Staff mobile phones receive it the same way. Classroom PCs, smartboards and displays connect via your school’s internet, so while that’s down they won’t receive alerts.
A 4G failover router or second line keeps your screens live through an outage too.
Your Audiebant Control access details arrive within an hour via email after sign up. From there, most primary schools deploy across the whole site in a single afternoon: download the version you need, install it across your estate, and invite your users.
Audiescreen is software that installs on the classroom PCs, office machines, interactive whiteboards and staff mobiles you already have. Nothing to mount, no cabling, no server, no engineer visit and no site survey.
The only hardware is our optional emergency buttons, a physical trigger for raising an alert from reception or the school office. It’s a standard setup with full written instructions, so your IT lead or IT support company can fit it without an engineer visit.
Windows, Apple and Linux, plus staff mobile phones and tablets. Your classroom smartboard, reception digital display, Chromebooks, PCs and the phone in a teacher’s pocket all become alert screens. Locked-screen override — where a critical alert appears on a device that’s locked — is only available on Windows systems.
Yes — that’s the point. You choose full-screen takeover, pop-up or banner to match the urgency of the message. A lockdown instruction takes over the smartboard and is legible from the back row; a home-time reminder can sit as a banner without stopping the lesson.
Yes. Virtual zoning lets you target by floor, building, block, key stage, year group, team or role, so a message only goes where it applies. One click still locks down the whole school when you need it.
Both, at no extra cost. Schools use it for assembly and teacher call-ins, home time and morning messages, safeguarding and site reminders, and scheduled reminders by zone and time. There’s no separate charge for emergency use.
The instruction isn’t for them, it’s to protect them. Audiescreen speaks to the adult in the room, and everything about how the alert lands is built so that adult can’t miss it.
- Every alert can read itself aloud: Text-to-speech plays the message through any screen with speakers
- The adult reacts. The class follows: Your staff read the screen; your children follow the routine they’ve already practised
It’s the first thing most primary heads ask. Almost all of the answer is in your hands rather than ours.
- Change the screen colour: You can choose the background colour of the screen to suit your environment
- Use a coded phrase instead: Plenty of schools avoid the word ‘lockdown’ in front of younger children and agree a phrase staff recognise on sight
- You write every word: Nothing is fixed. Messages are drafted with your SLT and saved in advance, and you choose the colour each one uses
Yes. When you send an alert, you can choose which devices they are sent to.
- Broadcasts: Choose whether it goes to screens or mobiles, or both
- Virtual zoning: Set up zone groups for teachers only, year groups, reception — it’s up to you.
They don’t need to read it. An alert is written for the adult in the room — the instruction is to lock the door, move away from windows, take a register, and those are adult actions. Children follow the class routine they’ve practised in drills, exactly as they do for a fire alarm.
Text-to-speech can read the alert aloud through any screen with speakers, for staff facing the class rather than the board. And because you pre-configure every message with your SLT, the wording is your school’s own — including coded phrasing for younger year groups, if that’s your policy.
Schools also use Audiescreen for everyday messages like assembly calls and home-time reminders, so children see the screen change regularly in a calm context. On the day it matters, it isn’t the first time.
A written instruction appears on the board and the class PC at the same second everyone else hears it. Audio-only systems leave deaf and hard-of-hearing pupils — and anyone in headphones or a high-noise space — dependent on a neighbour noticing and passing the message on. A visual alert removes that delay.
Alerts can be translated into more than 200 languages, so a new arrival or a visiting parent at reception reads the instruction in the language they read best, at the same time as everyone else.
Plain, consistent wording and predictable on-screen visuals help pupils who find sudden noise or ambiguity distressing. Because you can pre-write the instruction for each scenario, the message a pupil sees during a drill is the same one they’ll see in a real incident.
It applies to any premises where 200 or more people may reasonably be expected to be present at the same time — and that count includes staff, not just pupils. Above that threshold, primary schools are always placed in the Standard Tier, even where more than 800 people are on site, because education settings receive special consideration under the Act. Schools that stay below 200 fall outside the legislation, though the Government still encourages them to have preparedness plans in place.
Spring 2027 is the expected commencement date, with the Home Office confirming the exact date through Parliament. The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025, and the Home Office published its Section 27 statutory guidance on 15 April 2026. That guidance sets out which premises are in scope and what the duties require, so schools can start writing and rehearsing procedures now rather than waiting.
Four procedures: evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication. Three of them define what people should do in an incident. The fourth is how they find out — how an instruction reaches every classroom, corridor and outdoor space at the same moment. Audiescreen is built for that fourth procedure.
No, and no product can. Audiescreen covers the communication procedure. Your documented plans, staff training and named responsible person remain with your governing body or trust board. What Audiescreen gives you is a reliable way to deliver the instruction, plus the audit log to evidence that you did.
No. Standard Tier duties are about procedures and staff readiness, not physical infrastructure — there’s no requirement for CCTV, barriers or access control. That’s why Audiescreen is software only: it runs on screens your school already owns.
