How It Works

See how SafeGuardMe works.

Families sign up, complete payment, invite the right people, set permissions, build the support profile, then choose how calls and SMS messages are handled.

1

Sign up and permissions

The client signs up and completes the direct debit. Family members are invited to review permissions, digital signatures, terms, and relevant authority such as power of attorney.

2

Family setup

Family members create accounts, add names and photos, and the family admin sets simple permission levels: admin, family, and carer.

3

Calls, SMS and alerts

The family creates white, grey and black lists so trusted contacts get through, lower-risk contacts are recognised, and distressing or known-risk contact is blocked or escalated.

Building the family knowledge base

Family members speak with Ivy (our AI receptionist), the SafeGuardMe companion, about Mum or Dad, or upload their own stories, so the service can understand the person behind the protection plan.

What the family shares

Present condition, state of mind, life story, memories, important events, family members, preferences, routines, attitude to life, and anything that helps support calm conversation.

Why it matters

When family are busy, Ivy can use approved family knowledge to answer or support a call, engage naturally, offer reassurance, and help bring distress levels down before the situation escalates.

Call and SMS list rules

Families can keep the public explanation simple while still showing how contact is handled.

White list

Trusted contacts

Calls and SMS from approved people go straight in and out, such as close family and trusted carers.

Grey list

Low-risk contacts

Hospitals, doctors, dentists and known services can be recognised as lower risk while still visible to the family.

Black list

Blocked or escalated

Excluded family members, known debt recovery agents, distressing contacts, and known scam sources can be blocked or escalated.

Protection without taking independence away.

Families can start with call and SMS protection, then add support for dementia, mental health, vulnerability, reminders, resources, and guided help as needs change.
