Is there any way of escalating alarms within an on call rosters contacts, ie. when the alarm activates it goes to the contact at the top of the roster, after a delay if unacknowledged it goes to the next contact down the list and so on.

Have you tried using the ‘Time Between Notifications’ property on the Notification Block?
