Before participation
Identify the organization with safeguarding responsibility, required screening or training, supervision rules, designated lead, reporting route, and applicable law.
SAFETY
The app can prepare a question. It cannot receive a report.
Safety content establishes boundaries and points adults back to written policy, authorized leaders, qualified professionals, and local emergency services.
During activity
Avoid isolated one-to-one situations, private messaging, secret-keeping, unnecessary physical contact, or personal transport outside approved procedures.
When concern arises
Listen calmly, avoid promises of secrecy, and follow the designated route. Do not investigate, question witnesses, or confront an alleged person yourself.
Immediate danger
Contact local emergency services and follow the responsible organization's urgent procedure. Beacon Fieldbook cannot monitor, dispatch help, or receive reports.
Professional boundaries
The app does not provide medical, mental-health, legal, tax, financial, accounting, architecture, engineering, construction, security, travel, crisis, or emergency advice. It does not guarantee safety, funding, certification, spiritual results, health outcomes, or eligibility.
Private notes are not records
Do not place allegations, incident details, names, youth information, health details, beneficiary records, financial data, or confidential cases into the local note. Use only systems approved by the responsible organization.
