The school trip to the British museum went well until the journey home, when an accident on the main road brought the traffic to a halt. You'll be an hour late returning to school...

Just record a voice message for all parents whose children have been on the school trip.

This is Mr Evans - the visit to the museum today has gone very well.  However,  there has been an accident on the motorway ahead of us causing a traffic jam. We now expect to be back at school for pick-up at 5.30, one hour later than you were originally advised."

  Record your message and a text alert will be sent to all parents, informing them that they have a voice message waiting and asking them to call the ClarionCall service number.

Parents hearing the message word for word in a familiar voice are relieved that their children are not involved in the accident and can make plans for a later pick-up.

You are also able to track online exactly which parents have received your text alert and called in to listen to your voice message. The school can then make alternative arrangements for the few parents who have not responded by an appropriate time.
