Vocal release SafeText and SchoolAlert software for schools to enhance communication between schools, parents and pupils.

Colchester, Essex -- (SBWire) -- 08/09/2010 -- Vocal announce the release of their new software for schools. SafeText and SchoolAlert are innovative solutions that allow parents and pupils to contact their teachers and the school out of hours quickly and simply without exchanging any personal contact information. Messages can be sent to individual parents, teachers, pupils or specific groups regardless of their location.

SchoolAlert ensures that email and SMS messages are delivered directly to parents and guardians, making sure important information cannot be ignored or mislaid. Parents are kept up to date with key information on anything from school closures and emergencies to addressing truancy or pupil behaviour issue.

Using a secure and fully auditable system, SafeText enables a pupil to send an SMS to the schools dedicated number and automatically get through to the teacher of their choice. Pupils can receive teacher support out of regular school hours for help with studies and social problems such as bullying. All messages are tracked and monitored to ensure the ultimate protection is given to students and teachers in line with government legislation.

SafeText and SchoolAlert reduce the time and cost of school administration staff who would previously have been tasked with making phone calls and writing letters to contact parents. These solutions provide a secure and reliable two way connection between schools and homes - increasing the support available to teachers, parents and pupils.
