Hi,
Hope someone can help:
I had a call from a lady working at a nursery who is
supporting a child with multiple serious medical conditions. The child has a
permanent assistant, but the school need the assistant to be able to alert a
nominated member of staff if the child becomes ill.
Most of the alerts my enquirer has found aren’t
suitable – she needs a silent alert at the assistant end when they press
the button, but an audible alert to the nominated member of staff, but no loud
noises that can disrupt the attention of 3 year olds in the vicinity!
I’m unsure of geographical spread that the alarm would
need to cover, but the nursery is part of a mainstream school.
Cheers,
Aidan.
