Frequently asked questions

For Parents

What is it?

Clay is a community of school registered parents and friends sharing school runs and ad hoc arragments to support the students. It mirrors the ways parents have always lent support within their school community but uses technology for better reach, beyond a static small group of friends along with better visibility, timeliness and safety.

How can it help me?

Being a member can help you access more local support by people you actually know. It’s also cheaper and easier to make arragments booking through the App. Text. Unlike a closed group on a social platform, you are the administrator of your own group and you take your connections with you, even when your child changes school.

Is it safe?

You can only enter the community as a known person. The community is school centred so you’ll be surprised how many people you know in the community. There is a 2 step secure sign in, verifications from friends, and a pin. The app is designed for people who know each other to book time with each other. All members have presented themselves as school parents and you can choose to only book help with members child safety checks.

Will it save me money?

Yes, childminding and transport during the 0-12 years costs parents thousands per child even after tax.

So how do I access Clay?

The app is free to download and use for parents registered at schools using Clay. When a parent registers within the app, they’ll be creating a possibility for a community of shared help to exist at your school. When enough same school parents join - your school’s full access is switched on and parents can start making clearer arrangements with each other. Community building takes time and supporting the use of the app within your community gives the best chance of success for the school community.
