e are in an everchanging world of technology, attitudes, compliance and parents that know best thanks to Google. The task for teachers and headteachers to remain in control of the relationships, the narrative and indeed the class, has never been more
challenging. Technology however can also be the teaching professionals’ friend. Perhaps the simplest yet most effective tool is call recording, especially when teamed up with truly mobile telephone extensions. The old maxim says ‘My word is my bond’ but in
ISSUE 4 - PREPARING CHILDREN FOR A WORLD THAT DOESN’T YET EXIST

recording as they see fit. But how can this extend to mobile conversations and what benefits does that bring? So often, headteachers and other staff are required to handle parent queries outside the normal working day. When away from the school, a private mobile might be the only option. As well as exposing the teacher’s private contact details, this would normally render the conversation un-recorded. Thanks to an ’Over The Top’ application, a teacher’s own smartphone can be used to send and receive calls from their school extension. This allows you to utilise the call records reporting, the CLI ( Calling Line Identifier) number presentation and naturally the call recording services. For those of us with poor memory or simply too many things to contend with at once, delays between conversations can result in time wasted looking over old notes, assuming you have them to hand. With call record features, you can replay calls so that when you speak to that person again, it is as though the conversation took place only yesterday.
Call recording helps a school team stay ahead of any difficult and developing situations. It offers both transparency and efficiency. By reviewing past calls with parents or pupil, the management team can gain a full flavour
of the problem and the way it has developed, allowing them to better support colleagues or recognize where a parent has a legitimate claim. Either way, facts always help reduce the venom of a dispute!
