Frequently Asked Questions

Can a QR code at a nightclub entrance link to safety information?

Yes. Pre-venue safety QRs set expectations before entry. A queue is a good moment to scan welfare and safe travel information.

Should night-time economy welfare QR pages work offline?

Yes where possible. Signal in basements and crowded venues is poor. Cache welfare information on first scan outside the venue.
