You ID Me

ParentingAutism

Has anyone had any experience with You ID Me? For those who don't know, You ID Me is the UK's leading emergency ID and alert service that quickly provides first responders with your vital ID, emergency contact and medical information - straight to their phone or mobile device by scanning your individual QR code. 

I ordered my daughter one of their wristbands, which she wears 24/7 since she can't take it off by herself, which gives me peace of mind. I have included all her medical details, etc, but it has an option for additional documents. I'm not too sure what to add here. Would her Behaviour Support Plan and Hospital Plan be beneficial and appropriate. The reason she has this wristband is because she can abscond from home or us when dysregulated. She is usually amazing at coming home quickly, but there are occasions where this doesn't happen and she has severe meltdowns in public alone and emergency services are often called by the public. Therefore, Im hoping that if they see her wristband, they will use it and get the information they need quickly. 

If anyone uses this service, would you be happy to share what additional documents you have added? 

Thanks in advance!

  • Have you considered getting her some sort of GPS tracker so you can locate her if you have concerns?

    If she is a child or a vulnerable adult then this is a good option so long as they re not opposed to it.

    I had a look on the TrustPilot UK site for reviews on You-Id-Me and cannot see anything for it outside their own site, social media and reseller sites. This does raise some concerns.

    Maybe someone else has links to sites that perform impartial reviews of this company.

    She has her phone on her constantly that is tracked 24/7 which she can't turn off which is how we track her. We have looked at other tracking devices, in the scenario that she doesn't have her phone on her, but they are all so expensive which we just can't afford, unfortunately.

    How about an AirTag or SmartTag type device - they don't require her phone to be on her to work (I think they just need to be near other peoples phones.
