Setting Notification Permissions
Enabling notifications for your Safer Schools England App is important, as it allows you to stay up to date with relevant and current information. This includes all the push notifications you may be sent in regards to safeguarding updates, school information updates, or other communications. iOS and Android devices will ask for permission for this slightly differently.
Simply go to your device Settings > Notifications > scroll down to find the Safer Schools England App and toggle on Allow Notifications.
Android 13 and later requires developers to obtain permission for notifications to your device.
The Safer Schools England App will ask for your permission 3 times, unless you choose to allow at any stage. The first time will be when you first create your account and log in for the first time. If you don't allow it at this point, it will ask again once you navigate away from then back to the Home Screen with the reason why it's asking, and then once again to ensure you're sure of your decision.
As with iOS devices, this can be changed at any time in your device settings.
Simply navigate to Settings > Notifications > find the Safer Schools England App in the list and Allow Notifications from there.
