What to know about SchoolCare
SchoolCare’s visitor management offering is tightly focused on UK schools and emphasises safeguarding and compliance. The kiosk-based workflow captures visitor details and photos, prints badges and performs automated watchlist vetting (national sex offenders register) and DBS checks, supporting UK GDPR and Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance. SchoolCare couples hardware and software deployment with installation, configuration and ongoing support—suitable for schools that prefer a managed rollout rather than a self-serve SaaS purchase.
