Include the details people need
Record the date, time, location, collecting adult, and anything the child needs to bring. If the usual exchange is at school, decide what happens when school is closed.
Give delays a simple process
Agree who to contact and how to confirm a revised arrival time. Avoid asking the child to explain or negotiate the delay. Use the contact method appropriate to the situation.
Review the next handoff
CoFam’s Today view and calendar help show upcoming care changes. Check that the recorded time and person are correct.
Is a handoff the same as an overnight?
No. It is a transition time; the overnight describes where care falls across the night.
Where can I check the next handoff?
Open Today for the next 24 hours, or select the relevant day on the calendar to review its care periods and handoff details.
