Pastoral visits: who needs a visit

Step by step

1. 1

   Step 1: Raise a concern

   on Who needs a visit

   The vicar names the member, chosen from the parish, the kind of concern (sick, housebound, bereaved) and a note.

   What the others see: The member joins the list. It is not part of the directory and is in no export.

2. 2

   Step 2: See who has waited longest

   The list is ordered by how long each person has waited, with their phone number to hand.

   What the others see: Only those who hold the pastoral area see the list.

   Step 3: Record the visit

   After visiting, the vicar presses “Visited today”.

   What the others see: The person moves down the list; the button shows the visit is recorded for today.

4. 4

   Step 4: Close it when it is no longer needed
