1. Commitment

We recognise that digital platforms can be misused and therefore take safeguarding seriously. We seek to reduce risk through responsible platform design, appropriate moderation, clear community expectations, and accessible reporting pathways.

All users are encouraged to act with care, integrity, and vigilance in order to protect the wellbeing of others within the community.

2. Children & Platform Use

The Safari App is not intended for unsupervised use by children. Parents or guardians remain responsible for the oversight of a child’s participation and for ensuring that use of the platform is appropriate and consistent with family and church guidance.

Children should only participate where appropriate supervision, guidance, and safeguarding practices are in place.

3. Appropriate Boundaries

Users—particularly leaders, moderators, and those serving in ministry roles—must maintain appropriate and transparent boundaries in all digital interactions.

Private, secretive, or unmonitored communication with minors is discouraged unless authorised and appropriately supervised.

Any behaviour that is exploitative, coercive, manipulative, or inappropriate toward a child or vulnerable person is strictly unacceptable.

4. Controls & Limitations

We take reasonable steps to support safeguarding within the platform, including efforts to:

  • Moderate content where appropriate
  • Restrict or remove inappropriate material
  • Respond to reports of unsafe or concerning behaviour

However, no digital platform can guarantee complete prevention of misuse. Active supervision and vigilance by parents, guardians, leaders, and community members remain essential.

5. Reporting

Any safeguarding concern—including suspected abuse, exploitation, or inappropriate behaviour—should be reported immediately through appropriate church leadership channels and, where required, to relevant civil authorities.

C.I.T.A.M will cooperate with lawful investigations and recognised safeguarding processes where appropriate.
