How do I delete a safeguard?

Describes how to delete a safeguard from a person's profile.

You will need the Write Safeguards permission to perform this action.


Deleting a safeguard permanently removes the record and its associated data from the person's profile. This action cannot be undone. Once a safeguard is deleted, the data is gone.

Open the Person's Safeguards Tab

Find the person using the top search bar or by going to Contacts in the left-hand menu. Click the person's name to open their profile, then click the Safeguards tab. The Listing sub-tab shows every safeguard on file for that person.

Delete the Safeguard

Locate the safeguard in the table, click the 3-dots menu at the start of the row, and select Delete.

A confirmation dialog will appear. To complete the deletion, type DELETE into the input box exactly as shown and click Confirm Delete.

A safeguard linked to a background check can't be deleted. Delete still appears in the menu, but confirming shows "This safeguard is linked to a background check and cannot be deleted." If the background check is still Invited, deleting the background check removes its safeguard too. See How do I delete a background check?

Warning: The data for the record will be deleted. This action cannot be undone, so only confirm if you are sure you want to remove this safeguard.
