When a parent or guardian modifies or adds new contacts to a child’s profile, receiving a notification of these changes would support a smoother and more efficient process. This ensures that when an updated or newly added contact arrives to collect a child, educators are aware of the change in advance. As part of administration, it is my responsibility to update the contact list for educators, and without timely notification, miscommunication can occur.

If a new person arrives for collection without our knowledge of an update, it may lead to a potential child safety concern, as staff would not be aware of who the individual is. Similarly, if emergency contact information (such as a phone number) is updated and we are not notified, we may attempt to use outdated details, meaning our printed records are inaccurate.

Having notifications in place for any contact modifications would reduce miscommunication between educators, administration, and parents/guardians, while also saving time and supporting the safety and wellbeing of all children in our care.

Thank you!
