  • Configurable email reminders automatically notify individuals before certifications expire, increasing in frequency and urgency until renewal is completed.

  • The system verifies compliance status and enforces access rules — ensuring only certified and approved individuals are assigned to roles involving youth or vulnerable participants.

  • All actions and updates are logged for transparency, with easy reporting for audits and oversight reviews.
