To help keep our community safe, it’s essential that we can alert you if there is an emergency on or near our campuses. That’s why we’re introducing safety alert messaging via the SafeZone app and SMS.
Safety alert test:
On Friday 26 September, we will be sending a safety alert test message to all students and staff to test the system. Here’s what to expect:
- You will receive a short message marked clearly as a test via SMS and a notification from the SafeZone app, if you have downloaded it and enabled notifications.
- You do not need to reply or take any action, and can delete the message once you have read it.
What you need to do:
- Ensure that your mobile number and emergency contact details are up to date in Student Records.
- Download the SafeZone app, available for Android and iOS, using your King’s email address to login.
