The Disconnect

Meet Gospel Oak School. A well-established secondary school based in the West Midlands. Like many institutions across the UK, the school had been facing challenges with students vaping on the school premises, which had become a growing concern for the staff.

The Answer

Determined to discourage students vaping, Gospel Oak entrusted Connaught to help combat the issue. After identifying the specific area of concern, we conducted a thorough site survey of the bathroom facility where the issue was most prominent. To tackle the problem, we recommended the installation of our innovative HALO Vape Detector – specially designed for schools. This advanced all-in-one device detects vapor where visual and audio recording are not permitted, ideal for helping schools maintain a safe and healthy environment.

The HALO detects a range of anomalies such as vaping, vaping with THC, aggression, motion and more, all whilst protecting the privacy of the individuals. Once installed, the vape detectors provide real-time alerts directly through to the users email or SMS, enabling a swift and effective response. The HALO integrates seamlessly with existing security systems, saving both time and money on installation.

The Results; Loud and Clear

Gospel Oak have now seen significant improvements since we installed several HALO Vape Detectors into the bathroom facility. The staff are now notified as soon as any vapor is detected and as a result can take action quickly. The vape detectors have acted as a deterrent and have ensured that the students are aware of the repercussions should they go against school policy.
