Safety Guidelines

Before you meet

• Talk parent-to-parent on the platform first. There is no rush.
• Keep your surname, address, phone and email private until you are comfortable.
• Ask about supervision, allergies, pets and house rules in advance.

The first meetup

• Choose a public place: a park, library, community centre or playground.
• Both parents stay present for the whole visit.
• Keep it short - an hour is plenty for a first meeting.
• Agree in advance who is bringing whom, and how the children will get home.

Ongoing

• Move to a home visit only when both parents are confident.
• Talk with your child afterwards about how it went.
• Stop if anything feels off, and use Block or Report.

Red flags worth reporting

• Pressure to share personal contact details or move to another app.
• Questions about a child's school, address, routine or full name.
• Requests to meet a child without their parent present.
• Anyone who cannot confirm they are a parent or legal guardian.
