The legal standard for lone worker protection has changed

The Worker Protection Act 2023 and the Employment Rights Act 2025 have fundamentally shifted the legal burden from reactive to proactive. Employers must now anticipate and actively prevent harm — not just respond to it.

82% of property agents feel their safety is not taken seriously enough. 53% of estate agencies currently operate without any formal lone worker policy. WhatsApp check-ins and staff handbooks are legally indefensible. The October 2026 deadline for 'all reasonable steps' compliance is fast approaching.

Worker Protection Act 2023

Employers face a +25% tribunal uplift for failing to take proactive preventative steps. The average harassment award is £53,403.

Understand your obligations

Employment Rights Act 2025

From April 2026, harassment complaints are protected whistleblowing disclosures. By October 2026, employers face liability for harassment of staff by a third-party.

See how The Sentry helps you comply.

Enterprise safety. Zero IT headaches.

The Sentry pairs a mobile app for your staff with a powerful admin portal for managers. No hardware. No IT department. Live within one hour.

One-touch panic alarm

Instant emergency alert with live location sent to managers and nominated contacts (Nearby Team members). Automatic video capture begins on trigger.

Live location sharing

Real-time GPS tracking during work sessions. Managers monitor active lone worker's activity across all branches from a single dashboard.

Loud or Silent distress signal

Discreet SOS activation when a visible or audible alarm is unsafe. Alerts the team without alerting the threat — critical for confrontational situations.

Automatic video capture

On alarm activation, the device camera begins recording automatically. Unalterable video evidence stored securely in the cloud audit trail.

Private incident reporting

Whistleblowing-compliant confidential channel for staff to report harassment without fear of retaliation. Directly satisfies EHRC Step 4.

Friends & Family licences

Every staff member receives three free personal licences. Safety technology for their family at no extra cost — fostering a genuine culture of care.

Unbeatable value. No lock-in.

The Sentry costs £39.50 per user per year — under £1 per week. No setup fees, no hardware costs, no contract lock-in. StaySafe charges £114+ with a mandatory 36-month lock-in. Safepoint charges £120–£150 per user per year. The Sentry is 3–4x cheaper than either — with more compliance features than both.

Frequently asked questions

What is a lone worker safety app?
A lone worker safety app is a software application installed on an employee's smartphone that provides emergency alerting, live location tracking, and incident reporting to protect staff working without direct supervision.
Do estate agents legally require lone worker protection?
Yes. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the proactive duties of the Worker Protection Act 2023, employers must provide adequate communication and emergency systems. The Health and Safety Executive explicitly states that a standard mobile phone is insufficient.
Does The Sentry require specialist hardware?
No. The Sentry requires zero hardware. It operates entirely via a smartphone application for iOS and Android and a cloud-based administrative portal, eliminating the cost and logistical burden of physical fobs or dedicated devices.
What is the Friends and Family licence?
Every commercial user of The Sentry receives three free personal licences, allowing staff to share the safety technology with their family members at no additional cost. A real employee benefit which reduces the worry that all staff have when apart from their loved ones.
