Community Alerts

Community Alerts was founded in 2002 by Paul Kent and Richard Manville. The company was established to develop services that improved communications and safety across communities. In 2002 its location based messaging application was utilised by Sussex Police as part of the pilot for their Child Rescue Alert scheme.

In May 2003 the Child Safe brand was established and this consisted of three areas - Child Safe Plus⁺, Child Safe Accessories and Child Safe Zones. For more details go to www.childsafezones.co.uk.

Child Safe Plus⁺ was set up in 2003 to offer a tool for parents and guardians. The service offered peace of mind that if your child is lost, you can quickly provide effective information to anyone searching or finding them. This product has been replaced by FamilySafePlus⁺.

Child Safe Accessories support the family registration products but also work as safety tools in their own right. A mobile number on the back of a wristband or tag can help a child wherever they go. Other child safety accessories are also available.
