Overview
Raise a Concern allows logged-in employees to quickly report anything they believe may present a safety or security concern.
This could include:
Unusual or suspicious activity
An unknown person on site
A potential safety issue
Something that does not appear right
Concerns can be raised from the Custr Dashboard or Custr Companion.
Once raised, employees with the appropriate Concerns Alerts permission are notified and can review, acknowledge, comment on and close the concern.
Who Can Raise a Concern?
Any logged-in employee can raise a concern.
They do not need the Concerns Alerts permission to create one.
Concerns can be raised from:
Custr Dashboard
Custr Companion
Concerns cannot currently be raised from the Reception Kiosk.
A concern is always linked to the logged-in employee who raised it and cannot be submitted anonymously.

What Happens When a Concern Is Raised?
When a new concern is created:
The concern is recorded in Custr
The logged-in employee is recorded as Reported By
The date and time are recorded
The concern starts with a Pending status
Employees with the Concerns Alerts permission are notified
Those employees can then open and respond to the concern
Notifications are sent by:
Email
Custr Companion notification
Concern Statuses
Concerns move through three main stages:
Pending
The concern has been raised but has not yet been acknowledged.
Acknowledged
Someone with the appropriate permission has acknowledged the concern.
Only one authorised employee needs to acknowledge it for the concern to move into the Acknowledged status.
Acknowledging a concern does not close it. It shows that the concern has been seen and is being dealt with.
Closed
The concern has been completed and no further action or discussion is currently required.
Once closed:
The concern remains available for reference
New comments can no longer be added
The concern can be reopened if further action is required
Acknowledging a Concern
Employees with the Concerns Alerts permission can acknowledge a concern.
Open the concern and select Acknowledge This Concern.
Once acknowledged, the status changes from Pending to Acknowledged.
Only one employee needs to acknowledge the concern.
Adding Comments
Authorised employees can use comments to share information and updates while a concern is open.
Open the concern, enter your message in the comment field and select Post Comment.
Comments can be used to record:
Updates
Actions taken
Additional information
Relevant observations
Comments can be added while a concern is Pending or Acknowledged.
Once a concern is closed, new comments can no longer be added.
Closing a Concern
Once the concern has been dealt with, an authorised employee can select Close This Concern.
The concern will move into the Closed status.
Closing the concern prevents any further comments from being added.
If further action is later required, the concern can be reopened.
Reopening a Concern
A closed concern can be reopened if further information becomes available or additional action is required.
Once reopened, it can continue to be managed in the same way as other open concerns.
Concerns Alerts Permission
The Concerns Alerts permission controls who is notified and who can manage concerns after they have been raised.
Users with Concerns Alerts enabled can:
Receive an email when a concern is raised
Receive a Custr Companion notification
Acknowledge concerns
Add comments
Close concerns
Delete concerns
Users without this permission can still raise a concern, but cannot acknowledge or close concerns.
Administrators can manage this permission through:
Site → Roles & Permissions
Locate Concerns Alerts and enable it for the roles that should receive and manage Safety Concerns.
Searching and Filtering Concerns
The Safety Concerns screen can be used to find previous or active concerns.
You can:
Search by concern title, description or author
Filter by status
Sort by date
View the person who reported the concern
View the date and time it was raised
View the number of comments
This makes it easier to review both current and previous Safety Concerns.
Deleting a Concern
Users with the appropriate Concerns Alerts permission can delete a concern where necessary.
Deleting should only be used where the concern record itself is no longer required.
Availability
Raise a Concern is available through:
Custr Dashboard
Custr Companion
It is not currently available from the Reception Kiosk.
The feature is available to applicable Custr Check-In customers, excluding Business customers.
