Student experience
The student wears the Panda wearable at school. No app, no manual check-in, and no extra steps.
How it works
How Panda works inside the school day.Simple for students, clear for staff.
Panda combines a student wearable, approved school zones, clear alerts, and role-based communication so schools can support safety without adding extra steps for children.
School setup
Panda devices are placed in approved school areas for zone awareness only, with no cameras or microphones.
Safety support
The school is notified when attention is needed, such as a long stay, restricted area, gate event, or SOS.
Clear communication
Each role sees only the information they need, focused on faster care rather than tracking every detail.

A workflow built around care, not surveillance
Panda supports zone-level safety inside the school. It does not use cameras, record audio or video, or label and judge children.
Learn more
Approved school zones
School teams define the areas that matter for safety workflows, then use zone-level context when attention is needed.
Learn more
Assigned staff response
Staff mobile screens keep assigned alerts, location context, student details, and quick actions close to responders.
Learn more
Parent-safe reassurance
Parents see simple child status, device connection, and school-approved summaries without internal response details.
Detection examples
What Panda detects
These are customer-facing examples of alerts Panda can organize by severity and category, without exposing internal phase codes.
Safety signals
Alerts that help schools notice location, welfare, attendance, and device issues during the school day.
What it means
A student's wearable has been detected inside an area that is not approved for the current time or student profile — such as a restricted corridor, plant room, or staff-only zone.
What triggers it
A wearable signal is received by a Zone Anchor placed inside a zone marked as off-limits for students.
Staff response
A staff member is notified immediately and directed to the zone. The student is escorted out and the incident is logged automatically.
Who sees it
Admin, assigned duty staff
What it means
A student has remained alone in an approved zone — such as a corridor or quiet area — for longer than the school's configured welfare threshold.
What triggers it
One wearable is detected in a zone without others nearby and without movement for an extended period.
Staff response
A welfare-check notification is sent to nearby staff, who investigate and confirm the student's status without disrupting the wider school.
Who sees it
Welfare officer, duty staff
What it means
A student is detected in a zone that does not match their current timetable — for example, in a classroom they are not scheduled for at that hour.
What triggers it
A wearable is active in a zone not associated with the student's class schedule at the current time period.
Staff response
Admin reviews attendance records and staff are notified to verify the student's whereabouts and correct the record if needed.
Who sees it
Admin, attendance officer
What it means
A student's wearable has not been detected by any Zone Anchor since the start of the school day, suggesting the device may not be on the student.
What triggers it
No signal received from a registered wearable within the expected school-start detection window.
Staff response
Attendance staff are alerted to confirm whether the student is present and wearing the device, and to assist with reissuing if needed.
Who sees it
Attendance officer, homeroom teacher
What it means
A registered wearable has lost contact with the campus network and is no longer reporting zone presence, which creates a gap in safety coverage.
What triggers it
A wearable that was previously active stops transmitting for longer than the configured silence threshold.
Staff response
IT or admin staff check the device and the student's last known zone. A replacement may be issued to maintain coverage.
Who sees it
IT admin, device coordinator
What it means
A student's wearable was first detected after the official school start time, indicating a late arrival that has not been pre-authorised.
What triggers it
The first Zone Anchor detection for a wearable occurs after the configured school-start sign-in cutoff time.
Staff response
An attendance record is automatically flagged. Admin or front-office staff may follow up with the student's family if needed.
Who sees it
Attendance officer, admin
What it means
A student has been detected in the bathroom zone for an unusually long period that exceeds the school's configured welfare time limit.
What triggers it
A wearable remains active in a bathroom or welfare zone past the configured time limit without returning to a scheduled area.
Staff response
A discreet welfare check is sent to nearby duty staff, who check on the student without disrupting other students nearby.
Who sees it
Duty staff, welfare officer
What it means
A student's zone transitions do not match typical patterns for that time of day — such as rapidly moving between many zones or visiting areas in an unexpected sequence.
What triggers it
The system detects a sequence of zone changes that falls outside the expected movement patterns for that student or time period.
Staff response
Staff are notified to observe the student. No immediate action is required unless other signals are also present.
Who sees it
Admin, duty staff
What it means
A student has entered and exited the bathroom zone multiple times within a short window, which may indicate a physical or emotional welfare concern.
What triggers it
More than the configured number of entries to a bathroom zone are recorded for one wearable within a rolling time window.
Staff response
A welfare log entry is created automatically. A pastoral care staff member may follow up discreetly at an appropriate time.
Who sees it
Welfare officer, pastoral staff
School workflow signals
Alerts that help staff review attendance, device readiness, crowding, exit events, and daily records.
What it means
More students than expected are detected in a single zone simultaneously, which can indicate an unsupervised gathering or a developing disturbance.
What triggers it
Multiple wearables are detected in the same Zone Anchor area above the configured threshold for that zone type.
Staff response
A nearby staff member is alerted to check the zone. If a disturbance is confirmed, standard incident procedures apply.
Who sees it
Duty staff, admin
What it means
A zone that should have students present — such as a classroom — shows no wearable activity during its scheduled class hours.
What triggers it
No wearables are detected in a zone that has a scheduled class or group during the current time period.
Staff response
Admin or the relevant teacher is notified to confirm whether the class has relocated or whether roll-call was missed.
Who sees it
Admin, timetable officer
What it means
A registered student has not appeared in any campus zone since the school day started, suggesting a possible unnotified absence.
What triggers it
No Zone Anchor has logged a signal from a student's wearable after the school-start detection window closes.
Staff response
Attendance staff follow the school's standard absent-student procedure, which may include contacting the family by phone or app.
Who sees it
Attendance officer, admin
What it means
A wearable is reporting a weak connection to its nearest Zone Anchor, which may indicate a coverage gap or an obstruction in that area.
What triggers it
Signal strength between a wearable and the nearest Zone Anchor drops below the configured acceptable threshold.
Staff response
IT or the device coordinator reviews anchor placement in that area to identify and close any coverage gaps.
Who sees it
IT admin, device coordinator
What it means
Two or more wearables are detected as co-located in a zone that would not normally accommodate multiple students — such as a single-occupancy bathroom.
What triggers it
More than one active wearable signal is simultaneously registered to the same fine-grained Zone Anchor.
Staff response
Staff are notified to investigate. This may indicate a shared device, a hardware anomaly, or a welfare concern requiring attention.
Who sees it
Duty staff, IT admin
What it means
A student's wearable has been detected near or beyond a campus exit point during school hours, indicating a possible unauthorized departure.
What triggers it
A wearable is detected by a Zone Anchor placed at or near a school gate or perimeter exit during restricted hours.
Staff response
An immediate alert is sent to gate staff and admin. The student is located and safe-exit procedures are followed and logged.
Who sees it
Admin, gate staff, duty teacher
What it means
A student's wearable was last detected earlier than the school's official end time, indicating the student may have left campus before dismissal.
What triggers it
The last Zone Anchor detection for a wearable occurs before the configured school-end time on a standard school day.
Staff response
Attendance staff check whether a parent or guardian provided prior authorisation for early departure and update the record.
Who sees it
Attendance officer, admin
What it means
A wearable's battery level has dropped below the minimum needed to reliably maintain zone presence detection through the rest of the day.
What triggers it
The wearable reports a battery level below the configured minimum, or its transmission frequency becomes irregular.
Staff response
The device coordinator is notified to charge or swap the device at the next practical opportunity during the school day.
Who sees it
Device coordinator, IT admin
What it means
A student who was expected to be in a specific zone based on their schedule has not been detected there and is not appearing anywhere on campus.
What triggers it
A scheduled class or activity location has no matching wearable signal for a student who should be present at that time.
Staff response
Admin and the relevant teacher are notified to verify the student's location through standard roll-call and attendance procedures.
Who sees it
Admin, homeroom teacher
What it means
Panda has compiled the day's attendance, alert, zone activity, and device-health data into a summary report for admin review.
What triggers it
The summary is generated automatically at the configured school-end time, or when manually triggered by an administrator.
Staff response
No immediate action required. Admin reviews the summary and distributes relevant portions to teachers, leadership, or families.
Who sees it
Admin, school leadership
