It’s also great when another guardian drops off or picks up a child as parents can receive an automatic “child has checked-in/out ,” providing assurance of the child’s location. Here’s where staff can prominently share information right on the check-in screen, for all parents/guardians to see, or for individuals as necessary. It’s great for information and details about upcoming events, room changes, a reminder to bring diapers, a follow-up message to welcome a new family back, and more. The Broadcast email also includes the option of attaching documents, so you can easily send participation paperwork, a volunteer schedule, event promotion material or medical releases.

For child-focused organizations, there’s an opportunity to create a culture that functions proactively to elevate communication and transparency, while prioritizing preventative planning and response training. In 2019, we’re going to see an increase in the use of technology for functions that prioritize the needs of families, connect teams with the information they need to do their jobs, and provide quick access to important data for faster follow up and better decision making. Screening provides a multi-dimensional perspective on candidates and makes visible need-to-know information about the character, commitment, and history working with children and youth. For internal communication, scheduling a consistent face-to-face meeting with those in your organization keeps everyone on the same page, helps others answer broader questions about child protection and helps build a solid support network.
