Sectors
Different buildings. The same three questions.
Can everyone be warned at once? Can staff call for help and be found? Can you prove what happened? Tempus answers all three, wherever people work, learn, visit or are cared for.
EDUCATION
Schools, trusts and colleges
Schools sit in Martyn’s Law’s standard tier whatever their size, and already practise lockdown. Tempus brings PA, displays, staff alert and desktop messaging together, so every lesson change, exam and lockdown instruction reaches everyone.
Bells, time and exams
SchoolSafe PA bells, synchronised clocks, lesson countdowns and exam timers.
School lockdown system
One block or the whole site, including the PA, every teacher’s laptop and the hall screen.
Staff assistance
Behaviour support or first aid called from a lanyard, with live positioning showing which room the call came from and who is nearest.
Lesson changes and scheduled messages
Bells, notices, exam days and open evening wayfinding, scheduled once or taken from the school calendar.
Trust-wide oversight
Consistent procedures across academies, with Tempus Cloud for central IT.
HEALTHCARE
Clinics, units and community health
Staff facing aggression or a collapsed patient need help that knows where they are. Larger healthcare premises may also fall within Martyn’s Law and need workable lockdown and communication procedures.
Discreet staff attack alarm
A silent press summons colleagues to the consulting room, not the whole waiting area.
Live staff positioning
Know which clinician or porter is closest, room by room, with treatment rooms kept private.
Medical calls stand apart
Medical alerts look and sound distinct from security calls.
Equipment that stays put
Geofence defibrillators, crash trolleys and portable equipment.
Waiting-room displays
Time, wayfinding and information signs that switch to safety instructions instantly.
CARE
Care homes and supported living
Night shifts are thin and carers are often alone with a resident. Most care homes are below Martyn’s Law thresholds, but staff safety and fast response matter every single night.
Live staff positioning
See where every carer is on the live map, so the nearest colleague can be sent straight away, especially on night shifts.
Two-handed help
A carer calls a colleague to a room without leaving the resident.
Spoken to the right floor
“Assistance, Room 14, East Wing” announced only where it’s needed.
Dignity respected
Bathrooms and residents’ bedrooms can be private areas, where nobody’s position is ever shown.
Fire roll call
Know which staff are on site, and where, the moment the alarm sounds.
PUBLIC VENUES
Leisure, libraries, worship and events
Premises open to the public are at the heart of Martyn’s Law. Tempus gives front-of-house staff a lockdown button, and visitors a clear instruction on every wall and screen.
- Invacuation announcements to outdoor areas over SchoolSafe PA
- Reception and hall screens switched to the alert automatically
- Activity log ready for the regulator
WORKPLACES
Offices, councils and front-line services
Public-facing counters, lone workers and large office floors. Lock every desktop from a single trigger, and give exposed staff a way to call for help without raising their voice.
- Lockdown on every desktop and laptop
- Lone-worker check with Who is in
- Out-of-hours lock-up walk on a phone
