Policy without system is hope

Most orgs have a youth-protection policy. Fewer have a system that tells someone 30 days before a clearance expires — before that volunteer is already on the overnight roster.

Common failure modes

  • Clearances stored as email attachments
  • Renewals tracked on a personal calendar
  • Event-day clipboard as the audit trail

Fix the alert path first

Even a simple shared tracker with expiration dates and weekly review beats a perfect policy PDF. Then graduate to a hub that notifies coordinators automatically.
