Early-warning text messaging system for schools

New child protection measures are to be introduced in West Lothian schools following the Rory Blackhall murder, reports the BBC.

"Council plans, expected to be agreed next week, will bring in playground supervisors and an early-warning text messaging system for parents.

All schools will systematically text or phone parents by 0945 GMT if children are absent without explanation. If parents fail to reply to the text by 1030 GMT, councils will carry out a risk assessment. Care workers and if necessary the police, may then be brought in. "
