Core Lite uses notifications, to give you line of sight on the status of your safety plan or live sharing.
We don’t send unnecessary notifications, so you won’t get bombarded.
When using Core Lite, do not activate the FOCUS options including Do Not Disturb, Sleep, Personal.
At the end of the end of the safety plan time, a series of notifications, alarms and vibrations occur every two minutes, alerting you to take action.
If you have a FOCUS phone feature activated, you will miss these.
If haven’t responded to the step escalated notifications, six minutes at the end of the plan, the help alert will automatically be activated and an SMS sent to contacts in your safety plan.
Like the ‘Boy who cried Wolf’ story, if your contacts continue to get non-genuine requests for help, when you really need it, they might ignore them. And that may impact on your safety and ability to respond to the unplanned.
Best practice is, that you have activated a safety plan, keep your phone with you for the duration of the plan.
