THE HOLLIE GUARD – KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE
The Hollie Guard is a safeguarding app for smartphones which parents can find via Google. If your child is walking home alone you can track their progress. If they are approached by anyone they can use their phone to generate a silent alarm. It is just another way of keeping our children safe.
