+## Chaperoning new arrivals
+
+At peak entry times on the Saturday, volunteers will be assigned as chaperones. Chaperones should act as a friendly guides who make teams settle down and feel comfortable. Chaperones should do the following:
+
+1. Guide individual teams to their pits, use the map on the leaflets to guide them vaguely, typically there are small changes from the printed map on the leaflets, so use the team names on the tables as the source of truth.
+2. Introduce the to the layout of the venue. Mostly the nearest helpdesk, toilets, and the arena.
+3. Read a quick safety briefing to the teams. You should have this on paper.
+4. If there's time, the chaperone can field questions from the team, before heading back to reception to induct the next team.
