1. Commitment

We recognise that digital platforms can be misused and we take safeguarding seriously. We strive to reduce risk through platform design, moderation, responsible leadership, and clear reporting pathways. We encourage all users to act with care, integrity, and vigilance.

2. Children & Platform Use

The Safari App is not intended for unsupervised use by children. Parents/guardians are responsible for oversight of a child’s participation and for ensuring appropriate use in line with family and church guidance.

3. Appropriate Boundaries

Users—especially leaders and moderators—must maintain appropriate boundaries. Private or secretive communication with minors is discouraged unless authorised and monitored. Any behaviour that is exploitative, coercive, or inappropriate is strictly unacceptable.

4. Controls & Limitations

We take reasonable steps to:

  • Moderate content

  • Restrict inappropriate material

  • Respond to reports of unsafe behaviour

However, no digital platform can guarantee complete prevention of misuse. Vigilance by parents, guardians, and leaders is essential. Prompt reporting and active supervision remain essential.

5. Reporting

Any safeguarding concern (including suspected abuse or exploitation) should be reported immediately through appropriate church leadership channels and, where required, to relevant civil authorities. We will cooperate with lawful investigations and safeguarding processes.
