Truancy Call provides an ideal first day contact solution, saving time and resources in all sorts of ways.
Reduce unauthorised absences
Truancy Call is proven to reduce unauthorised absences in schools.
Gain greater parental responses
Repeated calling until a response is given by a parent or guardian, ensures a high number of reasons are gained for each child's absence. Should a parent or guardian not respond to the initial call, an hour later they receive a call again then repeatedly until a response is received by the parent or guardian. Over a third of parental responses are received by the Truancy Call system out of school hours.
Save costs
Save money on telephone call costs through quick calls or texts to parents enquiring after a child's absence rather than personal calling which can be more lengthy and costly.
Save time
Free up valuable support staff time by having the Truancy Call system do first day contact on behalf of your school via calling or texting parents.
Parents with no mobile credit? - no problem
Calls made by the Truancy Call system never drop the line. What this means is that when a parent is responding to a Truancy Call on their mobile phone, whether they are choosing to leave a message or connect back to the school, they are not charged for that call and therefore don't require credit on their phone. Ideal for reaching those that are 'hard to reach'.
Flexibility to suit you
With data drawn dynamically from your schools existing management information system, you can immediately identify who is absent or late and have the added flexibility to filter that data down further and remove those you don't want to send messages to.
Cost-effective
We won't tie you in with a long-term contract. You'll receive as standard an unlimited site licence so several users can operate the system around your school at no additional cost.
Easy to use and support
Within the cost of the Truancy Call system we include training and technical support, delivered over the phone and online, or training in person
No complicated technical requirements
The Truancy Call software is designed to be easily installed. No additional hardware is required and there are no new telephone lines to install. All you need is an Internet connection.
Integrated and secure
Truancy Call dynamically integrates with your school's existing management information system. Changes to e-mail addresses or telephone numbers are read directly by Truancy Call so you only have to maintain one database.
Innovation
Our innovative services are used by thousands of schools just like yours and we have been doing this for over 10 years that's why we have repeatedly received recognition and praise throughout the education and information technology sector.
