Chaperhome, for that time in every parents life where we need to allow our children the freedom to spread their wings and venture from home without our guidance and supervision. For Will that has been for a number of years now, he has his mobile phone so we have a means of contact but asking a teenager to ‘drop a text’ when they reach a destination is sometimes just a little too much like hard work when they are busy with their friends. Whether your teen is simply going to school, a friends or travelling further afield, Chaperhome has got their back.

Less Big Brother, more Guardian Angel

At a time when your children are getting used to a little independence they do not want to feel that ‘big brother’ is watching their every move. They need to feel confident in their own abilities but still have that knowledge that if they need you quickly, they can let you know that they are nervous or need help. As a parent you can rest assured that your child has arrived at their destination safely and is enjoying their evening. They can notify you when they leave and if walking home alone, they can use Timely Taps to let you know that they are still safe.

Local Police Reports

This section of the app can be turned on or off to suit you but is a useful information service which will tell you of any crime incidents close to your location so you know to avoid specific areas or if there have been road traffic accidents on your route.
