Check kids out at pickup

Pickup is the moment that matters most for a child's safety, and the busiest. Every family that checks in leaves with a security code. At pickup, that code checks the whole family out in one step, whether you're at the station or in Manage.

On the check-in station, tap **Check out**

1/6 · On the check-in station, tap Check out

Before you start: The family was checked in today at a check-in station or from Manage, so they have a security code.

Good to know

  • Go Live's Kids Check-in plan gives volunteers one rule for the door: never release a child without the matching code, even to a familiar face.
  • Link from the child's profile: the person you pick is the one approved to pick up that child. On the other person's profile, it shows as "may be picked up by them".
  • You can also tell the chat: "Grandma Sue can pick up Mia Rivera". It shows the link on a button before anything is saved.

If it’s not working

It says "That code doesn't match anyone still checked in today."

Check the code with the parent. Codes are for today only, and a code that was already checked out won't work twice. If it still doesn't match, get your kids director before releasing the child.

The parent lost their code

Look the family up in Manage → Check-ins under Recent check-ins. Each row shows the family's code, and Check out works from there once you're sure who they are.

The approved pickup doesn't show at the station

It isn't meant to: the station goes by the security code. Approved pickups are on the child's profile in People, for your team to check.
