"Keeping young people safe should be the top priority of anyone working with them. It’s vital that the spaces they are in are safe and that the people they are in contact with are trustworthy" (National Youth Agency)
Chat groups can be enabled for community teams or for specific events. Everyone in the chat is identified and controls such as prohibiting one to one chat ensuring defined adult to youth ratios in chats make the chat space a safe one.
The whole chat history is avaialble to all participants whenerver they join the group.
In addition to the core features, additional options allow you to:
Easily create orienteering or hike waypoints and routes for your participants. Create layered maps including bounderies and facilities. Allow your event teams to independently plan competing routes based on common waypoint markers.
Manage start and end times, waypoint arrival times and your participants' real time location during the event and review actual versus planned routes after the event.
You decide what information participants can access on their mobile devices - GPS location, route map , route plan or print physical map copies instead using OpenStreetMap or UK Ordnance Survey EPSG:3857 base maps.
Whether hiking, geocaching, orienteering, competitively or collaboratively or merely setting up information maps for your event, the options are there.
