While schools have previously struggled to respond, Vape Guardian\u2019s real-time detection hardware offers a non-intrusive, automated alternative to unpopular measures like bathroom patrols or closing facilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s smart sensors, which resemble traditional smoke alarms, utilise an advanced 10-point formula to accurately detect exhaled vaping and THC, with the system sending immediate alerts to staff via SMS, email, or a dedicated app. The technology has been designed to integrate directly with existing fire and security systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently protecting over 400 schools in the UK and Ireland, Vape Guardian has achieved significant market traction and is the named brand on all new Department of Education tenders requiring vape detection. The new funds will be used to:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Establish market leadership:<\/strong> Aiming to protect 1,000 schools by the end of 2025.<\/li>\n<li><strong>International expansion:<\/strong> Scaling operations across the UK, US, Australia, and global English International Schools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sector diversification:<\/strong> Launching specialised systems for the aviation, workplace, and leisure sectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Simon Hassett, Founder and CEO of Vape Guardian, said:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cAt Vape Guardian, we\u2019re dedicated to creating safer, healthier environments through advanced vape detection technology.
