I said I’d try post some useful things over the next couple of weeks<\/a> and after setting this up for a friend today I thought I’d share it with you as it may prove handy at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n

Talking to a lot of Course managers and distribution at the moment and there is a whole range of variations in how teams are dealing with the current situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know of several clubs that have had to drop to one member of staff on the course at the moment. I always felt uncomfortable with an individual on the course alone, it worried me as a course manager and it worries me now. I always had some pretty strict lone worker policies in place incase it happened and I’d urge you to think through your situation and do the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent hours looking for lone worker apps to ensure my team was safe but today I stumbled across a neat little trick in Google that could help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using Google maps in your phone you can quite easily share your location with anyone you choose – which is something I’d currently insist on if a member of my team was by themselves (which I’d try to avoid but these are difficult times).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Go into Google maps on your phone click on the account logo in the top right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Click on the location sharing option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Set the time to when you want to stop sharing your location (I’d suggest an hour after finish time). Then use either Messenger or Whatsapp to share your location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This will then send a link to whoever you invite who can monitor your movement for the period you set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see – my Mum and my wife are both in there house and don’t appear to have moved all day!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may be a feature you are well aware of in which case – sorry for wasting your time. I’m no H&S expert and I’d always advise to have at least two people in but if you are in a position where you just have one person this little trick may mean your lone worker policy is a little stronger at no additional cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
