This document outlines how InTouch will operate for 25th Camberwell and Dulwich Explorer activities. Additional measures may be put in place for more complex trips (e.g. international or remote expeditions).

Before the Trip

• Appoint an InTouch nominee
• Add their details to the Nights Away Notification (NAN)
• Share trip details with parents and the InTouch nominee including:
  • Leader emergency contact details
  • In Touch nominee name & explanation

<aside> ✉️

You can use this line to explain In Touch in parent comms: “For this trip, [NAME] is the In Touch Volunteer. They’re not attending but may support leaders with parent communications if needed.”

InTouch Nominee – Expectations

The InTouch nominee is a contingency support role, not a routine point of contact for parents. They must:

• Be available and contactable for the duration of the trip
• Have access to OSM (Where parent contact details are stored)
• Support leaders by handling outbound communications where required, particularly where:
  • Multiple parents need to be contacted
  • Information needs to be managed carefully and consistently
  • Leaders are occupied with on-site incident management
