Questions
Everything a director usually asks before pasting in their staff list: what it tracks, what it sends, what it keeps and what stays with you.
- Which checks can I track?
- First aid, CPR, anaphylaxis, asthma, Working With Children Checks, Foundation child safety training, other child safety training and teacher registration are ready to pick. You can add anything else that has a date.
- How do I get my staff in?
- Paste the lines from your spreadsheet or type them. A name, an email, a check and a date is all it needs. It takes a few minutes for most centres.
- Does it email my staff?
- No. It only ever emails you. Each reminder is written and ready, and you send it from your own email in one tap, or copy it into a text.
- What does an educator have to do?
- Read your reminder, book the renewal, then tap the link in it and type the new date. There's no app and no password.
- When will I hear about a check?
- On your Monday list from 60 days before it runs out, by email again at 7 days, and on the day it lapses. It stops once a new date is in.
- Does it check the Working With Children Check with the state?
- No. You still verify each check in your state's system, as you do now. This keeps the dates and does the chasing.
- Does it update the National Register?
- No, that stays with you. When a date changes, it tells you, and shows the last day to update the register, 14 days on.
- Do you keep copies of certificates?
- No. We hold names, emails, the check and its date. Certificates stay in your own staff records.
- Where does the information come from?
- Only from you, and from your educators when they type a new date through their link. lapsebell.shop doesn't look anything up anywhere: it works out who's due from the dates you gave it.
- What does it cost?
- $39 a month for one centre, however many staff. The first 7 days are free with no card, and you can cancel any time.
- Who can sign up?
- Businesses only: approved providers and the people running their services.
