Case Study: Dare to Differ improves staff safety and team tracking with Safepoint

Dare to Differ saves nearly an hour of travel a day with Safepoint

Dare to Differ, a not-for-profit organization supporting young people's mental health, faced significant safety and logistical challenges as its project workers increasingly conducted lone visits to clients' homes. Director Sam Watson needed a reliable system to protect his high-risk staff from potential incidents and to track their locations throughout the workday. Their previous manual method of calling or texting was prone to human error, which was highlighted when a staff member was mistakenly thought to be missing after a visit to a client with a history of violence.

To solve this, Dare to Differ implemented Safepoint's app-based lone worker solution. The system allows staff to create tasks for travel and visits, providing management with real-time visibility via a desktop portal. This ensures safety with emergency alerts and missed check-in notifications. The results were highly positive, with Sam Watson stating that adopting Safepoint was one of their best decisions, as it met all safety needs and even enabled them to take on new contracts. Additionally, the historical data from Safepoint provided organizational benefits, such as identifying inefficient travel routes that saved one worker nearly an hour of driving per day, leading to noticeable time and cost savings.
