Webinar: Simplified Telephony Management For Welsh Schools

A growing number of Welsh local authorities are reviewing how they manage telephony across schools as the PSTN switch‑off approaches. Many are exploring how a council‑led, cloud‑based model can offer consistency, reduce operational effort and support both English and Welsh‑language environments. This webinar sets out a practical, proven approach.

The Challenge

Schools rely on telephony for day‑to‑day operations, safeguarding and incident response, yet many still run individual systems that are difficult to manage at scale. The PSTN switch off is accelerating the need for councils to simplify, standardise and modernise their approach.

Local authorities are also under pressure to reduce the cost and complexity of separate school‑by‑school projects, while ensuring that Welsh‑language requirements, safety features and future cloud adoption are accounted for from the outset. Councils need a model that can support many sites without creating additional support demand for IT and education teams.
