What data should I collect from new timebank members?
Registering to join the timebank is a separate form within the members dashboard (e.g. post-registration). This allows the platform admins to conduct an extra safeguarding checks on members. Once approved, members can use the timebank to exchange time and skills with other timebank members.
We recommend platform owners capture the following data for basic safeguarding checks:
- Name
- Surname
- Date of birth
- Address
- Phone number
- DBS number
- Reference 1 – name, email address and phone number
- Reference 2 – name, email address and phone number
However, many of our clients have their own safeguarding processes to follow and may choose to create their own set of questions. Some platform owners decide to award a badge for different levels of safeguarding eg: "reference checked timebanker" or "DBS checked timebankers"
Please speak to Made Open during the set up phase to ensure that the timebank joining form captures all the data you need.
