# Setting Up Geofencing Rules on the OneCare Platform

## Geofencing is a technology that creates a virtual boundary around a real-world location using GPS that allows to track staff check-ins/check-outs at client homes or care facilities.

To set this up 

1\. Go to **Settings**![](https://knowledgebase.onecareplatform.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-28-2025-02-17-13-6051-PM.png?width=39&height=25&name=image-png-Jul-28-2025-02-17-13-6051-PM.png) at the top right of the page.

2\. Click on **General Settings**

3\. Under the **Geofencing** section, enter the **maximum distance** (in meters) that carers are allowed to be within in order to check in.

4\. Alternatively, you can configure the **Alerts** section to raise a notification when a carer checks in **outside** the specified radius of the visit location.

📝 This helps ensure visits are accurately tracked and carers are where they’re supposed to be.
