What happens when a staff member raises an SOS alert
- The staff member's phone may record video of the incident.
- Their live GPS location is shared with their chosen emergency contacts.
- The alert supports a call to 999. It does not replace one.
Recording starts only when a staff member raises an SOS alert. Nobody is recorded all the time.

How long we keep it
Recordings are deleted after 30 days. The exception is when they're needed for a police investigation, legal proceedings or an insurance claim; they are then kept only as long as that requires.
