Questions families ask
Agree on a simple contact plan together. Choose a trusted person to call, keep their details current and review the plan when your routine changes. Practise what to do if separated and choose a meeting place where appropriate. A tag adds a contact option but does not replace your plan.
No. Hifazat, a free family safety tool by Qawex, supports family contact but does not replace supervision, professional advice or emergency services. Phone access, signal and a family response are not guaranteed. Keep your agreed plan and a direct way to seek help rather than relying only on a tag or alert.
Published guides appear in this hub when they are ready; the current commissioned articles remain drafts for review. For local instructions, use a current official source and check its date before sharing it. Do not treat a missing article or an unreviewed draft as advice for an urgent situation.
Call the verified local emergency number for your current location when urgent help is needed. An app alert may be delayed or missed and does not contact emergency services for you. Contact family directly when possible, and follow instructions from emergency personnel rather than waiting for an app response.
