Children and school The school rings at eleven. You're in a meeting.
Your phone rings, and so do your partner's and Gran's. Whoever's free picks up, and the school speaks to someone who can come. You check later and see who answered.
Schools are asked to hold more than one emergency contact for every child, and they usually ring them one at a time. Put your MyCirCall Number first on the form and the first call reaches everyone at once, so nobody has to wait for the school to work down the list.
