ICE – that’s In Case of Emergency

 

 

Recent discussion in U3A has been on what role a Group Convenor should have in case of emergency. It's a difficult one, I haven't fully resolved in my mind what responsibility I should have – I think it's one that's worth discussing. Should I, can I request that information be lodged with me? Should the group member provide it to a membership record on a database system that the Convenor can access? Or, should – and this is the purpose of this post – the individual take the responsibility upon themselves. This can be done by either carrying a card – this one is used by The Ramblers – there are many providers of this sort of card, eg ICEcard, or should we use the facilities on our Smartphones which allow access without unlocking the phone from the Home screen.
