Home and family security plan — roles, routes, contacts and decisions

A change of address, school, work rhythm, staff or public exposure changes who knows what and who makes decisions.

A plan assigns roles before a stressful event. Household members know who confirms a change, how contact works and when an alternative is activated.

The plan states who decides, who may collect a child, who can enter the home and how changes are verified.

Adults retain responsibility for decisions and information. Instructions for children and dependent people are kept simple and age-appropriate.

Useful scenarios include a late pickup, a flat phone battery, an unexpected visitor, lost keys, travel disruption or a change of route.

Simple rules reduce the number of decisions made under pressure.

Private addresses, school information, routes and travel dates should be shared only with people who need them for a specific action.

The plan may also cover account recovery, backups, family communication channels and public posting about travel or absence.

The finished plan is matched to the household rhythm. It includes contacts, thresholds and actions for the first seven and 30 days.

Technical security, travel preparation, reconnaissance or protective presence receive their own scope where needed.
