The "WhatsApp Trap"
It starts with one group for the team, and ends with medical info, emergency contacts, and sensitive data scattered across 20 different phones.
This isn't just unorganised—it's a major GDPR and safeguarding risk.
How to reclaim your data
You don't have to ban WhatsApp, but you must move the "Source of Truth" to a secure, central database.
- Keep chat for "The bus is 10 mins late"
- Use the app for "Here is my medical form"
- Centralise emergency contacts so every coach has access via their own login
