Pastoral Care adds consent-first review signals

July 25, 2026 Back to changelog Pastoral Care now gives authorized care teams a consent-first place to review supported situations that may need human attention.

Church and Member Control

Care Radar is off by default. Eligible church administrators choose whether to enable it and set review thresholds for unowned care cases, overdue follow-ups, and active-case capacity. Members separately choose whether their recorded Community Group absences may appear for review. That participation source stays off unless the member enables both Care Radar and group participation follow-up.

Human Review, Not Automatic Action

Authorized staff can acknowledge or dismiss a visible signal and add a minimum encrypted note when useful. A signal never diagnoses or labels a member, sends a message, or opens a care case automatically. The Care Radar view also shows which potential sources are not ready. General service attendance, guest continuity, household drift, serving disengagement, keyword inference, and weighted caregiver scoring remain deferred until their source data and safeguarding boundaries are reliable.
