What is Operoo?
Operoo – formerly known as CareMonkey – is an automation platform for online forms, medical records and out of hall trip management that gives authorised carers instant access to important medical and consent details in an emergency on mobile devices. All of our Scouts and Leaders have Operoo profiles that are only shared with appropriate people such as leaders and first aiders. You will be sent a link to fill out a Operoo profile for your Scout. Please complete it as soon as possible.
We use Operoo as a permission form every time we have an activity that takes us away from the hall
The information is treated as confidential and is only accessed by those who have a need to know. Parents must keep the leaders up to date with any medical or behavioural issues. This ensures we have up to date information to assist us in performing our Duty of Care.
Why Operoo?
Operoo provides a number of benefits both for parents and leaders:
- it is a more direct way of keeping medical records up to date;
- it avoids the need to complete a paper form with the same information on it for each excursion;
- it allows leaders to find information easily;
- it allows for automated reminders;
- it is safe and not accessible to the general public; and
- you control who has access to the information.
How do I get Operoo?
Operoo can be accessed via an app you download to your iPad, iPhone or Android smartphone. It is also available via a browser on your computer. All of this at no cost to you. A link will be sent to you to create a Operoo profile for you child once they have completed the registration process and paid their fees.
