Committed to ensuring Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion within public safeguarding, Inclutech develops software solutions to enhance the quality of life and protect individuals in situations where vocal communication is not possible. Nearly 28 million adults in the UK have characteristics of vulnerability, and Inclutech’s suite of applications provides comfort and hope to those who feel voiceless.

What Inclutech did

Inclutech developed TapDA, a covert Domestic Abuse Evidence and Reporting Tool, leveraging their government-accredited TapSOS technology. TapDA is a smartphone-based app designed to support victims of domestic abuse by enabling discreet and secure documentation and reporting of incidents to emergency services. The app features:

User-Centric Design: Tailored to meet the specific needs and safety concerns of domestic abuse victims, ensuring ease of use, reliability, and robust functionality.

Secure Evidence Logging: Allows victims to discreetly document evidence and report incidents without verbal communication.

Police Integration: Police forces can generate unique codes for victims to initialise the TapDA app securely. A police dashboard provides incident details and victim locations for swift response.

Agile Development: Managed through meticulous planning and agile methodologies, including sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives, ensuring timely and adaptive project execution.

Stakeholder Engagement: Extensive collaboration with police forces, victim support groups, and government bodies to ensure the app meets practical needs and regulatory standards.
