How do I add new features?

New features in Safeguarding Hubs can be added in stages.

Only a few features are available at Stage 1, which makes it very easy to get started. Additional features are introduced at each subsequent stage, as shown in the table below.

Hub Stage	Role Creator	People Manager	Recruitment Tracker	Features Introduced at Each Stage
Stage 1	Basic version	Basic version	Not available	Keep track of DBS checks and training for volunteers and staff.
Stage 2	Full version	Basic version	Not available	Create Role Descriptions and Person Specifications.
Stage 3	Full version	Full version	Full version	Oversee the safer recruitment of new volunteers and create Volunteer Agreements.
