Call Tree (Definition)A telephone procedure which can be used to notify staff of an emergency. A call tree is typically used to notify staff out of hours. A common arrangement is that one person will call a small group of staff members with a message, then those persons will phone other staff and pass on the message, until finally all relevant members of staff have received the message.
