Safeguarding is a feature. Not a policy.
Most apps put safeguarding in a footer link. We built it into the architecture. These aren't toggles you have to remember to set — they're how the product works.
What's on. Always. For every team.
Coach-verified accounts
Every coach signs up through their club. Approval and Working With Children Check reference required.
No adult-to-child DMs
Architecturally impossible. Not a setting — a platform rule. There's no DM button to find.
Three fixed channels
Players. Parents. Everyone. Names, colours and audience are locked. You can't create new ones.
Full audit trail
Every message retained, searchable and read-only for the club's safeguarding officer. Nothing deletable after the fact.
Photo consent register
Set per player by parents. Enforced automatically. A 'No' kid never appears in a public post.
Parent controls for under-13s
Weekly activity summary. Restrict a child's channel participation to read-only at any time.
No ads. No tracking.
We make money from Player Pro and Club tiers. Zero behavioural tracking in kid sessions.
Compliance aligned
COPPA, the UK Children's Code, the Australian Privacy Act + 2024 Online Safety Amendment, and eSafety Safety by Design.
A safeguarding incident is raised.
Old way: screenshots, group-chat archaeology, gaps. New way: two clicks.
Concern raised
Parent flags a worry to the club's safeguarding officer.
Audit log opened
Officer pulls the past month of the Players channel. Read-only. Complete.
Evidence preserved
Nothing was ever deleted. Nothing happened in a private DM. Investigation runs on facts.
