Update from Alexis Cheshire

We have now completed the majority of the work on how Compass functions and over the past few weeks volunteers, alongside staff members, have been testing it out.
We are pleased to say that the results are promising. Our volunteers and security experts are positive about the changes we have made to ensure that your information is kept safe.
We will initially be concentrating on reintroducing the core functionality of Compass, managing adult members, disclosure and vetting processing, training records and reports to allow our managers to carry out the critical needs of the movement.

Before this can happen though, we have to undertake a process of load testing to ensure the system can cope when thousands of volunteers use Compass at the same time. Before the end of the year we will also carry out a final security test before we switch the system back on, which (assuming the testing is successful) is estimated to happen in January 2016.
We are acutely aware of the inconvenience and frustration experienced by volunteers while Compass has been offline. We’d like to thank you for your continued patience and understanding during this difficult period.
