What is chaperone?

A chaperone is a person who accompanies and supervises a group of individuals, usually young people, on a trip or social event. The purpose of the chaperone is to ensure that the group is safe and behaves appropriately while in the company of others. Chaperones are typically adults who are trusted by parents or guardians and are responsible for the group's safety and well-being. They may also have specific duties, such as organizing activities or providing transportation. Chaperones may be required for activities such as school trips, youth group outings, or other events involving minors. Their presence helps to provide a comfortable and safe environment for young people to experience new things and build relationships.
