The Challenge

Schools want to support every student but the students who need support most are often the least likely to ask for it.

The Problem

Students with autism, ADHD, and anxiety often struggle to communicate how they feel verbally. Traditional check-ins rely on speaking up in class or filling in forms. Many students mask their difficulties until crisis point. Staff only find out something is wrong when it's already escalated.

The Solution

Send Signals gives students a private, instant way to share how each lesson went: green, amber, or red. No typing. No speaking. Just three taps in under 10 seconds. Staff see patterns in real time across lessons, days, and weekends and can step in early, before small struggles become big problems.

Built Around the Student

Every design decision starts with the student, especially the ones who maybe find the school environment the most challenging to navigate.

3 Taps, 10 Seconds

A lesson check-in that's faster than unlocking a phone. Designed to never feel like a burden.

🔒

Completely Private

Students only ever see their own data. Database-level security means no student can access another's information.

🎨

Identical Every Time

The interface never changes layout or position. Students tap a message from a pre-set list. No typing, no composing and no pressure.

Built Around the Team

Built so SEND teams stay proactive, spotting patterns and coordinating support before small struggles build up.

📈

Spot patterns early

Year group analysis and individual pupil profiles surface trends as they emerge. Compare weekly data side by side to see who's improving, who's struggling, and what's shifting across the school.

🎯

Act with context

Every signal arrives with the lesson, period, and recent pattern attached. Triage from the Action Hub and coordinate the SEND team's response in one place.

📋

Ready for reviews

Generate reports for APDR reviews, parent meetings, and data drops in a click. The evidence is structured, timestamped, and ready when it matters.

Student App & Staff Platform

Two sides of the same mission that work together to close the gap between how a student feels and what staff can do about it.

Student App

For students who find it hard to speak up

After each lesson, students tap green, amber, or red. They can also send a pre-set signal to the SEND team. The message is attached to a specific lesson or break and sent privately without having to say a word.

Hard
  • Check in after every lesson, break, or end of day
  • Weekend check-ins keep the picture complete
  • View your own week and see what you felt and what you sent
  • Always under 10 seconds, no typing required

Staff Platform

For SEND staff who need to act, not just record

Start every day knowing who needs support. The Morning Hub surfaces overnight and early check-ins the moment staff log on. Signals sent by students are flagged with the lesson, the period, and how they rated it.

Aligned with Policy

Built to meet where education policy is heading, not where it's been.

2026 SEND White Paper

ICO Children's Code

Full compliance with the Age Appropriate Design Code. Data minimisation, privacy by default, and all data stored on UK servers. No tracking, no ads, no third parties.
