Safeguarding

Safe by design.

Many of our members are under 18. Their safety comes before everything else, including the livestream.

01

Designated Safeguarding Lead

Every edition has a named DSL, with clear ways for members and parents to raise concerns.

02

Parental consent

Nobody under 18 takes part without consent from a parent or guardian.

03

Facilitated, always

Sessions are run by the SydeDoor team. Hosts never work with under-18s unsupervised.

04

On camera by choice

Under-18s only appear on the public livestream with consent, and can always take part off-camera.

05

Background checks

DBS checks for staff working closely with members, including in the Fellowship.

06

Safe AI use

Age-appropriate tool access, and AI safety taught as part of every edition.
