Radio Check helps security and stewarding staff keep track of how they're doing, before and after a shift. You don't need an account. We never save your name, email, or anything else that tells us who you are. We only save what helps us improve Radio Check and our support.
Each one takes about a minute. Your scores are only shown to you. We never save your name or anything that tells us who you are.
Do this before you clock on. Rate your stress, mood, energy, focus and confidence, so you can see later how the shift affected you.
Do this after your shift. You'll get a score and a short message based on your answers.
Your pre-shift and post-shift scores for this session. We never save your name, email, or anything else that tells us who you are. We only save what helps us improve Radio Check and our support.

A lot of people in security are dealing with more than they let on. These helplines are free and confidential. You don't need a referral, and nobody needs to know you called.

High-pressure work can affect how you feel. Tap below to find out more.
These are common signs that stress is affecting you. You don't need to have all of them. Even one or two can mean it's time to get support.
Three things people in high-pressure jobs often deal with.
Feeling on edge, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off, even at home. You might notice your heart racing, shallow breathing, or a feeling that something is wrong. Anxiety is very common in frontline jobs. It is not a sign of weakness.
Low mood, energy or motivation. Feeling flat, disconnected, or struggling to find enjoyment in things you used to like. If it lasts more than two weeks, speak to your GP or occupational health team.
After a difficult or distressing incident, you might keep replaying it, feel on edge, or avoid things that remind you of it. This is a normal reaction. If it lasts more than a few weeks, get support.

Security work means dealing with things most people never see. Below are common signs you might need a break, and people you can talk to at any time.
Long shifts, confrontation, late nights and always being switched on take their toll. The signs below are based on NHS guidance. They are common in door, event and hospitality security. Noticing them isn't a weakness.
If some of these sound familiar, you're not alone. One or two now and again is part of the job. If you have several, often, and for a while, talk to someone.
A sense of being wound up, even when nothing's actively happening around you.
Your mind jumping from one worry to the next without settling.
Struggling to drop off, waking up a lot, or not feeling rested after sleep.
Feeling flat, heavy, or finding it harder than usual to get going.
Hobbies, people, or activities that used to matter feeling dull or pointless.
Snapping easily, or pulling away from friends, family, or teammates.
Incidents from a shift playing back on loop in your head hours or days later.
Reacting strongly to sudden noises, movement, or unexpected contact.
Feeling stuck in work-mode long after your shift has ended.
Talking to someone, even once, can help. The lines below are free and confidential, and people in jobs like yours use them.
Whether it's late at night after a rough shift or before work, these lines will listen without judging. Check the opening hours below. Samaritans are open 24 hours if you need someone now.

Radio Check, by No Guard Alone. Updated 14 October 2026.
The short version: We never save your name, email, or anything else that tells us who you are. We only save what helps us improve Radio Check and our support.
Radio Check is made by No Guard Alone (NGA), a UK organisation that supports security and stewarding staff. We're responsible for the data the app collects. Any questions, email [NGA-PRIVACY-EMAIL].
When you save a check-in, we store your score, your shift type, day or night shift, and the time. We also count how often you open the app and tap a helpline link.
We don't ask for your name, email, employer or location. You don't need an account.
No. We never save your name, email, phone number, location, or anything else that tells us who you are. The first time you use the app, your device gets a random number. Everything you save goes under that number, and we don't know who it belongs to.
Like any website, our hosting companies see your IP address when you connect. We don't save it with your answers.
The law still counts this as personal data, and your scores count as health information. So we look after it carefully.
We only save your check-ins if you tick the box to agree. Under UK GDPR this is called explicit consent. You can change your mind any time by deleting your data below.
We look at the numbers as a whole to spot patterns, like whether people feel worse after night shifts or at certain times of year. That helps us improve our support and make the case for it.
We don't look at individual check-ins and we never contact anyone. We never share your answers with your employer, never sell them, and never use them for adverts. When we share figures, we never show a group smaller than 10 people.
Supabase stores the data and Cloudflare runs the website. Google Fonts and esm.sh supply the fonts and some code, so they see your IP address when the page loads. They can only use data the way we tell them to. Some of them are in the US, and UK-approved safeguards cover that.
Radio Check doesn't use cookies for tracking or adverts. It saves a few small things on your device:
Your random number, so your pre-shift and post-shift check-ins match up. A private code, so only your device can delete your data. Whether you've ticked the box to agree, and whether you've asked us to stop counting your visits.
We use your random number to count how often the app is opened. The law allows this without asking first, as long as you can turn it off. You can do that here:
Cloudflare may also set a cookie to block attacks on the website. It's needed to keep the site running.
We delete your data 12 months after you last use the app.
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or ask us to stop using it. To get a copy, email us your Radio Check ID.
Your Radio Check ID: not set yet
Deleting wipes your check-ins straight away and stops the app counting your visits on this device. You can't undo it.
Not happy with how we've handled your data? Email us first at [NGA-PRIVACY-EMAIL]. We'll reply within 30 days. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
Radio Check is for people aged 18 and over. Nobody watches check-ins as they come in. If you need help now, call 999, Samaritans on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
