Chubb Launch St Bernard Safe Walking

Published 30^th November 2010

Chubb Community Care has joined in partnership with Halliday James Ltd for the provision of a new emergency location service aimed at those in the social care environment. The St Bernard Location Service will allow carers, wardens and nurses to locate those within their care during emergency situations, using GPS technology.

The partnership will provide social care practitioners with a simple and cost effective way of using emergency location in their own organisations. The service is completely flexible for single and multiple users and requires minimal training for carers to set up and use. It can be easily integrated with existing Chubb Community Care support systems and is completely secure.

“GPS and other location technologies have reached the stage where emergency location can become part of mainstream social care,” explains Dr Enrique Aguado, Business Development Manager at Halliday James Ltd. “The key, as we have found with the St Bernard Service, is not so much the technology but the organisational and operational aspects of implementation. We now have a reliable location service that social care professionals can incorporate into their own organisations.”

“The St Bernard Services provides a valuable tool to service users and care professionals alike,” agrees Liz Millward, Marketing Manager Chubb Systems. “We are delighted to be partnering with Halliday James Ltd to incorporate this advanced technology into our own innovative telecare systems.”
