Headteachers, DSLs, and MAT leaders

Lockdowns your staff can carry out calmly

Lockdowns are never routine, but processes can be. Cosafe lets any staff member start and follow a lockdown without having to search WhatsApp or paper plans.

Use short checklists and a single place for updates, instead of long documents and mixed messages.

  • Leaders can trigger a lockdown, invacuation, or evacuation from a single app.
  • Give staff brief, role-based instructions to follow.
  • Leaders have a live overview of responses and any information gaps

Handling serious threats and incidents

From first concern to a safe, controlled lockdown

A suspected weapon, threat, or police operation escalates quickly. Cosafe lets the first staff member start a managed incident, bringing in leaders and, if needed, MAT or local teams.

Everyone gets the same trusted information. Staff secure pupils and rooms. Leaders coordinate with police, partners, and any other stakeholder with a clear log.

  • Go from individual reports to a single managed incident in seconds.
  • Use a shared incident room to coordinate leaders across SLT, MAT, and estates teams.
  • Keep a time-stamped record of actions, messages, and decisions for review.

Training, drills, and readiness

Make lockdown procedures part of daily practice

Most schools have lockdown procedures. Cosafe helps staff remember and use them on difficult days by turning your plans into in-app checklists and prompts for drills and real events.

Run realistic exercises and refine your process. Show governors and inspectors you work systematically, not just storing policies.

  • Translate your existing lockdown plans into practical, in-app workflows.
  • Run and refine drills using the same tools you would use in a real event.
  • Use incident logs to support debriefs, inspections, and continuous improvement.
